is there a way to lock - encrypt all the contents of a cdrom or dvd rom?

I know I could zip the files and add a password. Any other solution?

TIA
 
Hi,

For that to happen, the disk would have to be rewrite media, and you would
need to be using packet writing software. It's not really practical from a
user standpoint, as you also could not be using the native encrypting
software (it requires that the file system be NTFS, optical disks do not use
that file system), you would have to locate a third party program capable of
it.

Take the contents of the disk, PGP encrypt it all, write that to a new disk.

If anyone really knows how to break into that then they aren't talking.
But many of these Mickey Mouse (tm) password schemes that other programs
provide can be easily broken, just by searching the net for some program
written to do that.

Hi

SafeGuard PrivateCrypto might help you out (free for

(we are using their "SafeGuard Easy" product for local hard disk
encryption on all laptops, and we are very satisfied with the product).

The BestCrypt product found at http://www.jetico.com/ also looks
interesting.
