Its quite easy - If you wish to try it you can do the following: To use encfs: [as root] # yum install fuse-encfs [as user create a place to hold the encrypted files and a 'mount' point to see the decrypted visible versions of same] % mkdir -p ~/Private/.encrypted ~/Private/visible [Now set up a password to encrypt/decrypt] Remember it. At the prompt type 'p' for preconfigured mode, then it will ask for a password] % encfs ~/Private/.encrypted ~/Private/visible Use ~/Private/visible - whatever goes in there will look normal, but will actually be stored encrypted in ~/Private/.encrypted No just do whatever you want in ~/Private/visible - it will be encrypted - you can make subdirs and whatever you normally do .. To ensure this is shutoff (unmounted) when you logogg in kde put this script in ~/.kde/shutdown #!/bin/bash # # fusermount -u ~/Private/visible You can confirm all is encrypted by unmounting and seeing visible is now empty - all you see is the encrypted data in ~/Private/.encrypted Enjoy
