Hi guys, I need to encrypt a USB drive with about 2TB of data on it and store the decryption key seperately.<br />
<br />
The plan is to send the USB drive overseas encrypted and then send the decryption key seperately. Is there software that will do this (free preferably) as this is a one off task.<br />

Full disk encryption of USB drive

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.
