USB Lockit

USB drives are commonly used to secure data or store backups of important files. Many people store sensitive or confidential work-related information on USBs. Since these storage devices are really small, they can be lost easily. So what if someone else gets their hands on your lost device and uses it for malicious purposes? Well, you can take preventive measures by protecting your USB with a password.

USB Lockit is a software that provides efficient password protection for USB. This tool was developed with the main purpose of preventing unauthorized access to your USB in case of loss or theft. This is fulfilled by encrypting drive files with Advanced Encryption Standard that has a key size of 256 bits. This also includes the boot partition of your USB drive.
