Do you /g/uys have any recommendations on a good USB key encryption software?

Is either AES, Twofish or Serpent objectively better?

c'mon /g/ give me something

Veracrypt might work, if you just extract it on the stick and create a container rather than encrypting the whole thing.

Regarding your question about AES (aka Rijndael), Twofish and Serpent; they were all AES finalists. They're all more or less OK for general use (side-channels can be a issue with S-boxes, depending on implementation), but of the three, AES is the fastest (why it was chosen).

If you don't have AES hardware support (AES-NI), you might (bizarrely enough) find Serpent to actually be faster in XTS mode in software (that is true of Linux dm-crypt, which has a really good bitsliced implementation).

However basically any of them will easily clear 100MB/s even on shit-tier hardware, so there's no point in worrying about that on a USB drive.

There's no real point in cascades.

TrueCrypt 7.1a had sound crypto, but a few vulns in the driver. Veracrypt would probably be fine, but I have not audited it in the same way, and weirdly I don't really know who's behind making those builds except that it's definitely not the same people.

If you're using Windows 10 Pro build 1511 or later, Bitlocker would probably also be OK if you don't feel like installing extra software (as it uses AES-128-XTS now) - depending on how you want to do your key management, of course.

I just create dmcrypt containers on mine, am I doing something wrong? Is encrypting the entire drive better somehow?
