That would not give me what I want. This because the machine should still be functional with correct permisttions etc. I have confidential information that my customer owns, and due to my customers policy I cannot take out the working machine from their premises unless I encrypt everything that has to do with the work I am doing for them.

Is there anyway to encrypt parts of a drive? For example: I need to encrypt a specific home directory /home/confidentialuser/ but not the rest of the drive, is that possible?
Have you looked at permissions yet?
setting the file permissions like this chmod 700 will make the file available only to the owner and no one else
