Security for USB Thumb drives

[Don Monroe]

http://bsdnews.org/03/cryptusb.php

Check out the above link.  I know that the above link specifically
offers advice for BSD but read the section on the Cryptographic File
System.  You may be able to adapt it for your linux distrobution, or
you could convert to a mature, stable OS like FreeBSD.  ;-)

Best regards,

Don Monroe
