This may be in the wrong forum... but in was woundering if any one knows how to protect a file so that even if it is burned to a cd.. it will require a password to let someone view or use the content...

This would be ideal for storing information that our my clients want protected...

is there such a way to do this... and if so how...


thanks...

you could just password protect your zip files but that’s about as secure as a wet paper bag. if you really want them to be somewhat secure than use PGP (http://www.pgp.com/index.php)
or other encryption software.

slugo3: thank you for the info.... it sounds like it would do what i want.. but it does not state if it will encrypt burned cd's... it sounds like it will only do harddrives...

yeah pgp may not be the best for you. Its mostly for email but I think it has the ability to encrypt single files.
There is a lot of software available for encryption. Here is just a couple that are free. you should be able to encrypt then burn then the recipient would have to decrypt when they receive the cd.
