How to create an encrypted folder for my private files?
malikawan:
Is there any extension or way to create an encrypted folder for my private files?

An easy approach would be to use the natively supported boot code "protect", in which case backup is encrypted and gets decrypted at boot.
malikawan:
Thanx for reply tinypoodle
Sir I am using persistent home and opt folder. that why i do not create back. Basically i need one folder in which i place my private files and then i encrypted that folder.

Hi malikawan
Depending on your exact needs, bcrypt might be usable. It encrypts/decrypts files, not folders, but a little scripting might make it workable.

hi malikawan,
in the 4.x-branch encfs was an alternative tool for protecting folders.
in my opinion bcrypt has some security issues, cryptsetup has probably more auditing.
for dCore i recommend an encrypted container-file that is mounted over a mapper-device.
keep on securing even your basic daily environment.
