You will need to download third-party applications. You can try the Cryptainer Mobile. It will let you encrypt your USB or Flash Drives. You can install it directly to your USB and it's free to download. Another one is the True Crypt. It can help you make a virtual encrypted disk.  Download any of the two and install it directly to your USB device.
