Agreed. My flash drives have a (portable) copy of TC on them and a container. I don't consider it secure (how could I, considering that I use it for shuttling things to/from machines I don't own), but it's a whole lot better than nothing.
If there's a replacement for this use case I'd really like to know about it.
Ditto:
If you're using FDE for your system disk, it is desirable to know that in the event of the OS becoming unbootable that you can open it using any old OS. Especially in the case of laptops, where you won't have any guarantees about what other machines are available.
- krylon 12y agoWhat is "secure" depends on the scenario you have in mind. I keep some work-related on my flash drive encrypted, in case I loose the flash drive on the train or something like that. There was a case a couple of years back where somebody in the UK, I think, lost a flash drive with very sensitive data, like, medical records of prison inmates or something like that, on a train, unencrypted - the data I carry is far less sensitive, but this is precisely the scenario I want to be protected from.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoYep. As I said - it's a whole lot better than nothing. The "insecure" thing is mainly to remind myself that it isn't the be-all and end-all.
