TrueCrypt to encrypt

TrueCrypt has to be one of the best pieces of software for encrypting files I have ever come across because it does so many cool things. Truecrypt uses many of the open source ecnryption algorithms as well as being open source itself.

Esentually Truecrypt creates an encrypted virtual disc or container that is mounted with a password. I really like the mobile version included with the software that will allow you to install truecrypt on a USB flashdrive and mount or dismount files on the fly on other computers. I use truecrypt daily and it is amazing. For instructions on how to do these things see bigpcgeek.com (which may be outdated because of software updates) or Truecrypte.org.
