Hi, Please advise if this is the incorrect newsgroup for my question.

Can you please suggest a suitable method / software / freeware to encrypt a
USB stick? There are a number of documents on the USB stick that I would
like to make secure if the stick was lost, it would not be possible to read
the documents. I do not want to encrypt each file but rather the whole USB
stick.

Thanks, and look forward to your reply.
Kind regards.

Format the stick NTFS and use NTFS encryption.

Export the encryption certificate with a strong password and save it in a
not encyrpted location on the same stick.

Please can you advise on how to do this. When attempting to format the
stick, the only option is FAT32.

Thank you.
