People who carry documents or photos on removable media can use Master Voyager to restrict access if a device is misplaced. The program creates password-protected encrypted USB drives and CD/DVD discs, and protected media can be opened on another computer without installing Master Voyager there.
Password-protected portable media
Master Voyager is designed for putting an access barrier around files carried on removable storage. Choose a USB drive or optical disc as the destination, then protect access with a password. The encryption is intended to keep the contents private if someone else gets hold of the media.
The portable format matters when files move between computers. A recipient does not need a separate Master Voyager installation to read protected media; the password is required to access its contents. That arrangement suits exchanging sensitive files on a disc or USB drive when the receiving computer may not have the program installed.
Which discs and drives work?
The program supports USB drives and memory cards as well as CD, DVD, and Blu-ray media. Its optical-media support includes rewritable CD and DVD formats such as CD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW, along with BD-ROM. That gives users options for protecting data on both flash storage and optical media.
- USB drives and memory cards
- CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray media
- CD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and BD-ROM formats
Opening protected media on another PC
When someone receives a protected disc or drive, they can access the encrypted content from another computer by supplying the password; the receiving computer does not need a separate Master Voyager installation. Keep the password available to the intended recipient, since it is the credential needed to open the protected data.
Master Voyager’s focus is the access protection applied to portable media. The choice of USB, memory card, or supported optical format depends on how the files will be carried or shared.
