I wanted to see if it is possible to &nbsp;encrypt a usb flash drive &nbsp;with truecrypt to work on both mac osx and windows 7. &nbsp;Since I have been playing around with this it looks like it's either or do to the filesystem it creates on the flash drive. &nbsp;Hopefully I am just missing something as it would really be nice to use the same one on both os's.<br />

Truecrypt on mac and windows

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.
