Windows 2000 and Windows XP come with the data encryption builtin. If you need
data encryption to protect your data, consider Jetico’s BestCrypt. From the site:
BestCrypt creates and supports encrypted
virtual disks and these disks are visible as regular disks with correspondent
drive letters (for example, D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not
used by other system devices). The data stored on a BestCrypt disk is stored in
the container file. A container is a file, so it is possible to backup a
container, move or copy it to other disk (CD-ROM or network, for instance) and
continue to access your encrypted data using BestCrypt. Any free drive letter in
the system may be used to mount and to open an encrypted file-container for
access. When the virtual disk is opened, you can read and write data as if it
were a conventional removable disk. BestCrypt is totally transparent for any
application program. Your data is BestCrypt’s only concern and enhances your
basic right to keep documents, commercial proprietary knowledge and private
information in a confidential fashion.
