Default flash drive security?

greetings,
i recently acquired an 8gb flash drive and was wondering as to if there is any software that i could install onto it that would protect it's contents should i lose the drive...possibly something that would ask for a password before the contents of the drive are displayed to the user....i am not looking for a program to install on my computer as if i lost the flash drive it would most likely be used on someone else's computer, follow?....thanks!
