Encrypting USB stick for a receipient wihout Veracrypt

[frac]

Hello,

 

Is there a way to encrypt a USB stick to be sent to anyone without need for them to have a copy of the software; all they would need is the password. Something like having a copy of the software on the stick itself that would self execute.

 

Thanks

Veracrypt portable is the one you're looking for, may be. https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Portable%20Mode.html

And no, the recipient does have to manually execute VC portable residing in the USB stick upon receipt. What you're asking for borders on science fiction (at least for now) lol . Hope you've cracked how to send the password across securely already.
