I'm not sure what provisioning means, but all the examples we're talking about here, the encryption software resides on the external media (thumbdrive, portable hard drive, makes no difference...)

Any thumb drive discussed so far can get plugged into any computer. I'm not sure what the issue is of whether there are already files on it (there would be, of course -- the encryption software).
