Truecrypt is relatively easy to use, and you can access truecrypt
encrypted files or partitions from 'Doze as well as Linux. When I
carried a laptop to work and had semi-private data on it, I kept
all that data in a 2G Truecrypt file. I also set up a 64-byte key
file, kept on a USB key, and made a couple of scripts that let you
loopback-mount that file provided you had the USB key plugged in
and you knew the passphrase. Even had it umount that file on
suspend-to-RAM.
And I'm sure others have even more paranoid ways to set that sort
of thing up. Just remember that security is usually directly
proportional to pain-in-the-assitude.
