[thelist] cross platform PGP

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to encrypt data on a USB drive using PGP. 

Reality:

I use Mac at home, Windows at work.

I use a USB drive to transfer files to / from when required but I don't
want to risk losing the USB drive and having the data available by the
'finder'

 

Theory:

I can use PGP to encrypt the data on the drive, store a copy of the key
on my work and home computers and then encrypt and decrypt as needed.

 

Trouble is I haven't found a PGP client which works cross platform.
Portable PGP is java based but oddly enough doesn't work on Mac (even
with Java installed).

Does anyone know of a decent cross platform PGP encryption / decryption
/ signing client?

 

Paul
