HELP: Writing an Encryption Program

[emo_121]

Hi fourmers,

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I have search the net and found nothing Understanding

I want more of a guide rather than a Copy-Paste syntax program.

What I Want:
Lets say I have a few docs,pic, .exe , videos and other files format on a portable drive. I want a programme that whenever I plug it to the computer USB, it should ask me for a password before able to access all the drive contents.

I'm familiar with Arduino's language,C++ and phyton.
50/50 on VB Script and java.

What I need to know is the language involved and like a little sample code. Which would help.

I know there are opensource encrypting software in the market, but Im wondering if i could write/Learn one from Scratch.

Thanks in ADVANCE!!

Just use an encrypted zip file or true crypt that requires mounting.

It takes years to skills and knowledge to get security products right. If not, there is no security at all. The key here is how do you ensure your method of security works right from the beginning. Not everyone has to access your USB drive using a Windows system to start with therefore those auto launching of programs doesn't need to take place all the time. If so, are your files stored encrypted or not ?

There are no guides to such things. Proper understanding of security is required to undertake proper security products.
