I'm not sure if search isn't working properly, or this hasn't been addressed.
I often need to carry data on portable media (laptop or thumb drive). One source of these data has issued a new policy stating that "data stored on portable devices or removable media must be encrypted using one of the following approved encryption standards: Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) that uses a 128, 192, or 256-bit key size. " These are relatively large files that usually require me to use SAS or STATA to manipulate them. I've tried to figure out the best to accomplish this on laptops or thumb drives, but it's a bit over my head. Any suggestions for a straightforward way to achieve these objectives?
