I think what I do may work.
What I use for security is I created a veracrypt file that gets mounted as a drive and this is kept on a USB stick.
To be able to mount it at any computer I copy veracrypt portable to the USB drive with it. The only caveat, because I'm paranoid about people's good intent, is that I use 7zip to password encrypt the veracrypt portable files with zip crypto.
So I have two files on the USB drive. My encrypted portable apps volume and portable veracrypt as a "zip crypto" file. I have to extract veracrypt to the USB drive first and then mount the portable apps volume with it.
are bound to fail. Either driver installation on the host machine is needed or other software to be installed etc.
The only answer is encryption in hardware. I use it for many years now and it is standard in our work.
