TrueCrypt is very good Data Protection/Disk Encryption software. It is not a portable application, but it is quite useful for protect yout private stuff in the portable device/USB memory.
Similar to some other virtualization software, you can create virtual drive(volume) on your USB memory/Harddisk using TrueCrypt with a password. After that, you can mount your volume as local drive and use it like your local device.
The content of the virtual drive is viewable only in TrueCrypt software with the matched password. In other application, like Windows Explorer, you can only view the volume file.
You can also set "Auto-mount device", so that you volume in harddisk/USB disk can be ready for use when the computer is started.
It is very good for using TrueCrypt with USB Memory. Such that you can make sure you will not lose any personal stuff(photo,documents) to other person when you USB Memory is lost.
Other than Windows version, there is also Mac and Linux version.
