I just purchased an 8GB Kingston Data Traveler. It comes with nothing installed. Because it will hold confidential information related to my job, I need to install on the fly encryption software. I need to be able to use it on both Windows and Mac computers (work is all Mac). I looked at TrueCrypt, but I'm confused on whether I install it as a partition or a file container or in traveler mode or what, and whether or not I can go between OSs without needing to install on other systems.

Can anyone explain some of this to me? Should I install it as a file container on the drive, or as a complete system, or keep it in traveler mode? Or suggest a different program that's more intuitive?

Thanks.
