I was thinking something like encrypting my private key with gpgshell, and making it self extracting... Or to compress with winrar (password protected, and with "encrypt filenames" activated... passware recovery kit doesn't even know what to do with these files), or something like that... > truecrypt can be run in Traveller mode without being installed on > your computer Unfortunately, I still need admin powers to run it, even in traveler mode, and the computer where I would use it just give me user rights... Thanks vedaal, I will keep this advice in case I start using a laptop, but for now I can't use this solution (due my lack of admin rights). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJIJHWsAAoJEIISGkVDGUEO+AQH/AmwvKfioRKjnh4o9+dmHjpW qjwtln6u08Rl2RyE9JeUmhlyFji5CUDSM3i07K+fhqMzrG8xFO0+ZGvOP6EkI2Bq b7exNRCjSQJmnN2TXO1JurevJGVWO/McApQk3MVo8wHPFztM9ljbtcBrPcUgUmKu wzNpxYSxu9s2vgto0imrUpg7b1IDllpoCIxAa0xUYDX7bH0/o/SMEyIbZm45YEos UuLERJysW0V1VZLzbC080IopRDKPk+/GGMg5Rk/XpTUQJQ4KDk4xeS73hREUrCuw lEWOplEXWnGfllr2tp5+1dFvIIQFcQNR7Uamq24wXf6lXVXK7uIuJeffuhWY0vg= =rNyu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
