Hi

I am a Mac switcher (8 months) now and everything is going great! :-)

One issue I still have is I have many a couple of USB pendrives which I keep documents on, but they are open at the moment with no encryption. I used to use Truecrypt but its not supported on Mac (yet). I have used Mac Disk Images on Mac but are they are not supported on PC.

Is there a cross platform encryption solution I can use thats secure that works on both PC and Mac.

Thanks

Open source:
GnuPG 1.4.7 - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

Java:
SimpleCrypt 1.7.3 - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

Haven't tested either.

GnuPG is an excellent choice. It is an open source implementation of PGP.
