Is there another way besides this to protect our sensitive data that is used in pairs encfs and fused to encrypt a directorory. Then install:

# Apt-get install fuse-utils encfs

load the module:

# modprobe fuse

to make it load at system startup:

# sh-c "echo fuse>> / etc / modules"

we add our user to the group fuse

# adduser user fuse

occurs:

DebianBox: / home / edmond # grep "fuse" "/ etc / group"
fuse: x: 118: Edmond

Then begin to create the folder to be encrypted, which I will call secret:

mkdir / home / user / .secret

mkdir / home / user / secret

At this point we use encfs for editing:

encfs / home / user / .secret / home / user / secret

typing p or x, and choose a password for encfs.

Assuming you have a very important document to hide:

topsecret.txt cp / home / user / secret

and then remove:

fusermount-u / home / user / secret

At this point the document will be safe because the lead

ls / home / user / secret

you will not see anything. While if we go back we will appear:)

edmond @ DebianBox: ~ $ encfs / home / Edmond / .secret / home / Edmond / secret
Password EncFS:
edmond @ DebianBox: ~ $ ls / home / Edmond / secret
topsecret.txt

Security is never too much;)
