I think the long and short of this is that the answer is no!<br />
<br />
I'm finding very quickly that what I want to do needs to be sorted with hardware rather than software.<br />

As you're the only person who replied - and what you have put was true I will let you have the points.<br />

Thanks

Hi,<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a way to protect a USB key really simply and without installing any programs on our PC's.<br />
<br />
I like the U3 software but I don't want to allow our users to install things and then run them on our computers from thier flash drives.<br />
<br />
Is there a way of preventing our users from installing U3 applications but still allowing them to use the password feature.<br />
<br />
Alternativley, is there a way of protecting USB keys that's simple to use and doesn't require installing anything on the PC?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance, <br />
<br />

U3 Protection / Password Protection

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
