It has become of increasing interest to me to be able to password protect/encrypt data CDs. I do not know what kind of software or utilities are available but would appreciate any kind of "point in the right direction."

Hi Susan,
There are a lot of free encryption utilities available on the net, you can goto sites like download.com, ZDnet(Downloads),CNet(Downloads), by the way I found an utility called Crypto quite useful.

As urmi mentioned, there is a lot of freeware out there to encrypt or password protect. However, some of the password protectors I have tried have pathetic password rules. There is also a lot of software out there that can crack passwords very easily. You may want to contact Entrust Technologies (www.entrust.com) to see if you can get hold of an encryption product called SOLO which was free for personal use and $50us for Corporate use. Its their first generation product (circa 1997), uses public key technology and works on everything up to Win 2k (I have not tried on XP yet). I still deploy it within our corporation for document interchanges with our vendors, partners and customers. It provides industrial strength encryption and is very easy to use.
