Secured USB data

Hi, am wondering what is a good security software which can highly secure any data copied on a USB stick. It would have total restrictions on not to copy any file/folder/document/etc.. but, only be able to view "read only".
Any information in regards to the above would be highly appreciated.
Thx
Shaidi

I don't know of any read-only USB type of sticks, or ones that you can't just revert once they're on another system. I believe you can set some partition type of flags to mark read only, but anyone vaguely knowledgeable can just undo it.

You can use something like an Ironkey if you don't want to manually encrypt everything yourself.

Nexcopy offers a USB stick I guess with write protection. http://www.getusb.info/how-to-make-a-usb-read-only/

There are programs that can store files in an encrypted vault. One is Granite Portable. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/granite.html

I used TrueCrypt containers. I even wrote a TC container to a CD/RW disk with on the fly read and erase. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/TrueCrypt.html

Another fork of TC. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/veracrypt.html


Another encryption tool. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/quickcrypt.html

Or simply encrypt and hide files. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/deepsound.html
