At the RSA Conference currently underway in San Francisco, Kingston
Technology Inc. is showcasing their latest offerings of "DataTravel
Secure" USB flash drives. These drives utilize on-the-fly 256bit AES
encryption on all data that is stored on the drives. Moreover given that
the encryption is handled by the hardware on the USB flash drive, there is
no performance load on the host computer. One interesting aspect of these
secure drives is that, on some models, it is possible to setup both a
public and a private partitions. This allows the user to place sensitive
files on the secure private section that only he/she can access, while
leaving the open public section for general file sharing with others. Full
product description on the Kingston secure USB drives is available from
