I would love to know what you guys are talking about but I am completely lost.
with kwandos program which i just downloaded
it allows files to be stored on a usb jump drive encrypted but also has a boot file in it so that instead of needing a dedicated program on your computer to access the data, it allows a password to be entered and the files are accessible.
ETA not exactly how it works after reading up on it but a good basic description

Keep truecrypt on a folder on the usb key... no need to install anything on your PC/Laptop, when you insert the key, go to the folder to run truecrypt.with kwandos program which i just downloaded

there are some FreeOTFE (on the fly encryption) but I didn't like that program.

My Feedback
Just remember to unplug your USB if you have to reinstall your O/S. I kept mine plugged in at install and it got wiped clean!And no tech forum guys are/were aware of this issue!
TrueCrypt is an excellent program, +1 on the advice above.
That being said, I wouldn't trust a single USB key, as most of them use really low-end NAND flash memory. Stick to good brand names (SanDisk, Crucial, etc.) and if it's going into a deposit box, use several USB keys for redundancy.
If not written much and if kept at reasonable temperatures, flash will hold data for a very long time (10-50+ years) but if stored in a hot attic in Phoenix, it may not last even a year.
