[gentoo-user] Howto Encrypt a USB-key [gentoo-windows]

[Javier]

Hi there,

now I'm working on some projects and I store all files in a usb key. I
have the necessity of encrypt the data. The problem is this data have
to be accessible from windows workstations and linux workstations. In
the windows workstations there is no problem of installing things as
admin but in the linux machine I have no root access.

I only have found a solution but is very ugly, encrypt each file using
gpg. There is a better choice?

Thanks in advance,
Javier

Forgive me... The easiest and best answer is to format the windows boxes to 
use Linux. Then buy a pizza and some beer for the admin and ask for him/her 
to setup loop devices where ever you need them. End of problems.

Yes, I think this is the best choice but... could you tell to my boss?
