Secure files on USB memory keys

Author: Computeractive Staff
Date: 09-09-2009

Carrying a USB memory key to transport files is a simple and convenient method of storing data but it is also insecure. If the USB key is lost, it would be easy for someone else to access personal documents (as many government departments seem all too keen to demonstrate).However, using a free application like Rohos Mini Drive it’s possible to create a special storage area on a USB drive that can be encrypted, hidden and password-protected. Without the correct password, any files stored on this partition will be invisible, keeping them safe. Here is how to make use of it.First, you will need to download a free copy of Rohos Mini Drive. Click the Download Now button, save the file to the Windows Desktop and then double-click it to start the installation process.Baffled by jargon? See our free online jargon buster.
