Oh, well, why didn't you say so?

There are several encrypted file systems available for Linux. You
could simply put your home directory on one.

I don't know if there is any way to build a CD/DVD with an encrypted
version of the ISO file system. I think that would be useful for
distributing data with some security. A bit of googling should turn
something up.
