FYI - strength of encryption - encfs gives you lots of control over the
cipher algorithm and key length - the default (fc6) seems to be AES 256 bit.
% encfsctl ~/Private/.secret
Version 5 configuration; created by EncFS 1.3.1 (revision 20040813)
Filesystem cipher: "ssl/aes", version 2:1:1
Filename encoding: "nameio/block", version 3:0:1
Key Size: 256 bits
Block Size: 512 bytes, including 8 byte MAC header
Each file contains 8 byte header with unique IV data.
Filenames encoded using IV chaining mode.
File data IV is chained to filename IV.
