ecryptfs should be installed by default in LL 5. Open your package manager and type ecryptfs in the search box. ecryptfs and ecryptfs utilities should be there. It's very easy to use for creating a private encrypted password protected folder in your home directory, in spite of the daunting nix documentation, as long as your home directory is not already encrypted. I'm currently looking for simple tutorial for you. If I can't find one I'll write one next week sometime and cover all the bases for you. The main advantage to ecryptfs is that it can create a password protected encrypted stacked file system for a specific user.

OK, as promised the simplest way to use ecryptfs for an encrypted password protected folder, and the simplest way to pasword protect documents with LibreOffice. See the link below.

This stays within the Ubuntu coded ecryptfs utilities limitations.
