The data you store on your flash drive is probably the most insecure. Flash drives are the easiest to lose and if you store any sensitive data on your flash drive, you better have it encrypted.
In this video, you will see several options how you can encrypt your flash drive:
1) You can create an encrypted file-container. So, you will be able to store both encrypted and regular data that is open to anyone who has your flash drive.
2) Similarly, to the second option, you can also split your flash drive into two parts: one will be encrypted and another one will be a regular partition.
3) You can encrypt the whole flash drive. In this case, you would have to use the encryption passphrase every time you use your flash drive.
4) Finally, if you really have something to hide, you can create a hidden encrypted volume. This is to protect yourself from a case when you are forced to reveal a password for your encrypted data.
