kidsGamesWordFindA1We mostly post completely new content here that is generally not terribly technical. But one thing that is  particularly important to missionaries serving in closed countries is the security of their data.

TrueCrypt is a very useful program which will encrypt an entire hard drive or even a USB thumb drive. I just stumbled upon this article that explains how to use TruCrypt, so I thought I'd share it.

Note that part of the process is specifying a password. I suggest that you use a "perfect password".

I posted the article because it's fairly short and readable. But you can do more with TrueCrypt than the article explains. So I'd suggest you also read the documentation, especially the information about Plausible Deniability.
