Hey all,

How would I be able encrypt data on my pen drive? More precisely, as soon as I copy data into my pen drive it would be encrypted?

Please don't suggest true crypt. I know about it and it doesn't work the way I want it to.
I dont think you understood the question or perphaps i wasnt quite able to explain it.
What my problem is
some people would not encrypt data at all on the pen drive
others may may delete the encrypted data(dont need a password)and then copy the plain data into the pen drive
the problem here is that people will willing encrypt data when its there own dta that they are worried about( pics, passwords etc)
What i was looking for was forcefull encrytion of data on pen drive.As data is copied into pen drive it gets encrypted real time.

You can buy some usb sticks that come with built in encryption. Take a look at those. I use TrueCrypt and it is excellent. Why don't you like it?
