I have a USB drive I would like to encrypt. It's formatted in FAT (for use with Mac & Win) and I can't seem to find a way to encrypt it as:

FileVault doesn't encrypt FAT.

TrueCrypt can be installed after modifying the installermodifying the installer but doesn't run under 10.11 for me (library file missing) and there seems to be no solution, since TrueCrypt is no longer supported.

Is there any solution to encrypt the stick without resorting to using a different computer?
