Would you be able to access the thumb drive (file system ?) if it was not encrypted ? That would seem to be the first question. Then I suppose it would depend on how the encryption is handled. If it involves some Win-centric software not represented on our platform, I'd think your only shot would be through Win on VirtualBox. Another thing is that there might be different encryption methods in use, proprietary per a given manufacturer.
