    • How to encrypt USB drive and how does USB encryption work
    • idoo USB Encryption software can easily divide the USB drive into two different partitions: the secure area and public area. The secure partition is encrypted using the AES 256 algorithm and is accessible after being mounted through the program. The secure area can only be opened by inputting a password, while the public area need not, which is the same as any USB drive that is not encrypted. More than convenient, the encrypted USB drive can be used on any PC without installing extra applications, and all we need is to remember the password.
