Since a long time I was searching for a way to encrypt my data on a USB-stick. But one of the attention points is, it must be used within a Linux and Windows environment. 
After reading an article in the Linux Journal I found TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is an open-source encryption program for using within Linux and the Windows OS 
When you are using Windows, you can use the CLI or the GUI
And at home I used it on my Linux laptop… and it worked well!!!
