I use gpg to do all my encryptiong. I even have a text file with
critical passwords that stays encrypted "just in case". This way I can
keep my passwords, important documents and even some pics all safe on a
"thumb drive" I carry with me. Just out of precaution I keep a
statically compiled binary of gpg on my thumbdrive as well just so I
know I have a binary, and one I can trust.
