Right, but requiring file system encryption to work on a USB stick
across different types of systems strikes me as actually a higher bar
than requiring openssl to exist on both the source and destination
sides.
Naturally, if the environment you're in has already solved that problem
across the enterprise then it's a good approach, although you might want
to use a different encryption key, perhaps, though hopefully that's
something you'd be able to do pretty easily too.
Thanks!
