Hi, is there a way to quickly encrypt the filesystem of an USB storage
(FAT)?
I searched in sourceforge but seems to there're nothing.
Thank you very much

..NET has built in encryption classes - you can use those to encrypt files.

I don't want to encrypt files. I want to encrypt the filesystem only
to make the storage unavailable quickly

In that case, you might have to go lower level... I don't think .NET has
access to the File System itself - only the files.

Re there any extern dlls that can do that?

If I where you I would go hit the C and C++ newsgroups for some
advice. What you need is extremely low level stuff, and finding a
solution will be pretty difficult I'd imagine.

If you don't mind me asking - why do you need to encrypt the entire
file system? Wouldn't encrypting the files be much easier and
accomplish the same thing?

Thanks,
