I've installed it on (quasi-)public computers for the volunteer tax
people (I forget the group's name at the moment) to use with their USB
devices. I've not installed it for general patron use, although I don't
see any problems at all with it being there. No <u>technical</u>
problems, that is, even on a locked down desktop. HOWEVER...The patron
using it need to be saavy enough to understand the ramifications of
doing so. They need to know that if they use it at the library, they
have to be able to use it every other place that they use their USB
device too. You might also need to provide a way for the patron to copy
the install software to an unencrypted portion of their USB device for
later use. Beware suggesting that an un-saavy patron install and use
it, though! It'll probably come back to bite you when they can't get to
their data files somewhere else. LOL!<br>
<br>
I guess I'm ultimately of the opinion that it's a good idea. Those
patrons that know and understand it will use it. Those that don't,
won't and with no harm done.<br>
<br>
My 2 cents!<br>

If it were to be used, it would allow patrons to store their files
encrypted on their USB drives. This may give patrons piece of mind if
they lose their usb storage device or it gets stolen knowing that their
important data stored on it would be encrypted. It would also allow them
to access their encrypted files using library computers.
Currently we do not have any software on our public computers that
allows this functionality.
What are your thoughts about this?
