Comments on Encrypt Your Data With EncFS (Fedora 18)
EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. It is a pass-through filesystem, not an encrypted block device, which means it is created on top of an existing filesystem. This tutorial shows how you can use EncFS on Fedora 18 to encrypt your data.

I have been using fedora for some time but was not aware of this user space encryption capability. It works very well and I am going to try to use dot directories next time. Only thing I did not see in this tutorial is how to remove the encryption password and the two directories, if someone needs to start over. thanks
