There used to be a programme called PGP that was awesome. The encryption was so 
good that the National Security Agency in the United States complained 
stridently about it. There was a special hidden option for a 2048 bit key if 
you wanted one. Looking into it now, I see the programme is still around, 
though it seems to have become more commercial. You used to be able to run it 
from the command line, so it was eminently accessible. Look into that?

  the best way to safeguard/fortify files is a thumb drive... if it ain't 
plugged in, they can't be gotten to, and only you know when you plug the little 
niggler in so... 

  next would be a 2.5 inch exterior drive, same facts more room for the main 
part. and sd cards can work in the same fashion and are extremely easy to 
carry.
