This won't be available to other systems, but on OS X you can create  
an ecrypted disk image and then put your files in that and then copy  
that over to your memory stick. If you make the disk image smaller  
than the total size of the memory stick, the rest of the space would  
then be usable to other systems, but not the disk image itself.
