It is that, once you mount the Truecrypt container and then copy the files to DVD/CD, they will be in decrypted form and that Truecrypt Password is no longer needed to see the files on the DVD/CD. In otherwords, the DVD/CD is not password protected as the author states. I am afraid the author is missing a very important point.

It's a much easier program for the average user to use. Or you could the CD/DVD encryption from the FREE CompuSec suite. It’s a much easier program for the average user to use.

I currently use Windows XP Professional (at work), and I don't foresee an upgrade to Windows 7 for at least a year. Any ideas on something that will work on Windows XP? Martin,

The program comes with those operating systems and places an executable on the encrypted drive that works in other Windows systems. The user only has to enter the passphrase to mount the data.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:50:58 +0000 http://www.ghacks.net/?p=15223#comment-921933 I have tried TrueCrypt and Cryptainer, but they both require that the end user of the flash drive or other media have the TrueCrypt or Cryptainer software to unlock files. I am interested in password protecting a flash drive (or the files on it) so that a customer in the field can unlock it without any special software--just an unlock key. Do you know of any way to accomplish this without a huge investment of time or money?

You may also want to burn TrueCrypt in the CD/DVD together with the container (but not inside the container). That, way you won't have any trouble downloading or bringing TrueCrypt with you.

Is it possible to modify a encrypted volume so it would be unable to mount? Ex: by a virus... Thanks! Could this method protect a flash drive?

The coolest thing about burning the file container to a cd/dvd is the ability to create the hidden container within it before burning. What do you think about AxCrypt? I use it a lot whenever I have to send files to someone not so tech savy. I have never tried to burn an AxCrypt file to a cd/dvd but it seems like the self decryption option would come in handy on something like that so it could be mounted in a system that does not have TC installed.
