If you have not chosen to encrypt a user's entire home folder, it is possible to
encrypt a single folder—called Private—in a user's home folder. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Install the ecryptfs-utils software package.
2. Use the terminal to run ecryptfs-setup-private to set up the private
folder.
3. Enter your account's password when prompted.
4. Either choose a mount passphrase or generate one.
5. Record both passphrases in a safe location. These are required if you ever
have to recover your data manually.
6. Log out and log back in to mount the encrypted folder.
After the Private folder has been set up, any files or folders in it will automatically
be encrypted.
If you need to recover your encrypted files manually see
