Encrypted USB stick

Question

linux

I took care of finding a USB-drive with data encryption, which can be accessed by entering a password or by scanning a finger. I found some Transcend JetFlash models, however, as far as I understand, all use the following scheme: a virtual CD-ROM appears in the system with disk decryption software, a password is entered there, and then the drive itself appears in the system. Given that I would like to use a flash drive not only in Windows, but also in nix, this is a serious drawback.

So, the list of requirements for the device:
- support for on-the-fly encryption, hardwired, without the use of software;
- no need for additional software when using (maximum - to initialize the device for the first time);
- normal work in Windows and Linux (moreover, Linux is often without X);
- decryption of data by entering a password or fingerprint, or rather a combined method;

Ideally, I would also like to have:
- some kind of display for feedback from the device (“password entered incorrectly”, “decryption error”, etc.);
- the ability to encrypt not the entire disk, but any of its parts / partitions.

Thank you in advance.
