Must Have Application for Thumb Drives
It’s a sign of the time, you can buy a thumb drive almost anywhere. I have even seen them in Gas Stations in the Omaha area.
There are many reasons to use these drives: size, portability convenience, and storage space, all come to mind quickly. A lot of my external users do not even take their laptops to meetings anymore because they can keep all their presentations and such on a thumb drive and just plug into any machines.
On the other side of the coin, there are some inherent risks to the transportation of these devices. You may forget them on site, lose them while getting something from your pocket, so on and so forth. No matter the reason, if you lose your drive, all of that data is now available to the person that finds it.
Here are some examples of the type of data that can be lost by anyone:
Firm ‘broke rules’ over data loss
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has blamed a private contractor for losing the details of thousands of criminals, held on a computer memory stick.
Tax website shut down as memory stick with secret personal data of 12million is found in a pub car park
Ministers have been forced to order an emergency shutdown of a key Government computer system to protect millions of people’s private details.
The action was taken after a memory stick was found in a pub car park containing confidential passcodes to the online Government Gateway system, which covers everything from tax returns to parking tickets.
Two examples may not seem like a large amount, but if you look at the amount of data that was lost in these two examples you will realize how much data is at stake.
With that being said, I have found a free application that will help with this. Rohos Mini Drive Encryption. This app has a very small footprint and once your drive is setup, you don’t have to install software on any other computer to access that encrypted file.
According to the developers website they list the features as:
- Creates a virtual encrypted partition volume (disk) within a USB flash drive free space
- Automatically detects your USB stick config and creates encrypted partition
- Program does not require installation to work with encrypted partiton on a guest computer. You can start it right from USB drive
- Encrypted partition is protected by password
- Encryption is automatic and on-the-fly
- Encryption algorithm: AES 256 bit key length. NIST approved.
- Rohos Disk Browser to open encrypted partition without having Admin rights
- Virtual Keyboard — to protect your encrypted disk password from a key logger
- Autorun Folder. Saved program’s/file’s shortcut will automatically start/open up upon disk connection
- The limit of encrypted partition size is 2 GB
I find the software very easy to use and intuitive. In no time, I had carved 500 megs on one of my drives and was moving files over to the encrypted portion. To try out the functionality I handed the disk to my co-worker and watched as they put it in and sure enough none of the data showed. Just an executable. When run, the password challenge screen comes up. I really do like the idea of a virtual keyboard, particularly if you are on a computer that you do not know. Better safe then sorry in this world. Once the correct password is entered and accepted an explorer window is opened and all your files are accessible. It did take a few moments for me to see how to add new files to the encrypted volume. Just so you know, in the explorer window you can right click and import file.
As I said before, in this world, encrypt everything. I highly recommend this program to anyone with a thumb drive.

How Much Data Is That?
I found the following information on James S. Huggins’ Refrigerator Door (http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/how_big.htm)
Whenever we discuss quantities of data, we tend to do it in the abstract. We speak of a kilobyte, or a megabyte or a gigabyte without really knowing what it represents.
The following table shows various quantities of bytes, in each power of ten. Usually, they are shown with multiples of 2 and 5 also. For example, 1 Kilobyte, 2 Kilobytes, 5 Kilobytes.
All the examples are approximate and are rounded. For example, a computer card has 80 columns. If 50 columns contain data on a card, then two cards will be 100 bytes. Also, a 3−1÷2 inch diskette can contain 1.4 Megabytes. Showing it as 1 Megabyte reflects both (a) the diskette not typically being filled and (b) rounding. Finally, a CD-ROM can hold more than 500 Megabytes. However, it is listed at that level as “typical” and as the closest match.
Bytes (8 bits)
- 0.1 bytes: A single yes/no decision (actually 0.125 bytes, but I rounded)
- 1 byte: One character
- 2 bytes:
