Re: USB sticks on pubic computers security

Thanks for the answer..

I am already using encryption on it. But what if I need a way to read
the encryption content on an unsecure computer? Without it being
copied. What I think im looking for is a way to lock a file for
reading. Or deny all reading exept an text editor on the memory stick
or something..

Thanks
Lars

Well if you have any information that is sensitive on your USB thumbdrive
you should be using some type of encryption on the information so if you do
plug into a machine that will just suck the files off your USB drive, they
will just be encrypted and useless to them.
