Encrypted folder in fedora 33

Ask Fedora

I used disk encryption when I installed fedora-33, using the default options. I want to create an encrypted folder, to use unencrypted only on demand (not automatically at boot/login).
Is there a preferred/good way to do this?
Thanks,

Options:

  • LUKS - block-level encryption, more reliable and secure in general

  • EncFS, eCryptfs - transparent file/directory encryption
