Have a look at encrypted file systems. Then you need a pass phrase to mount the partition. Without the pass phrase, the attacker would need lots of time to crack it.

Modern distributions often come with this as a default option. Some quick Google to find some alternatives to compare will get you going.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PGP

PGP offers strong protection on file level. GPG is the free implementation.

Depending on your needs, different levels of protection can be used.

If you want to make a partition or a whole disk protected. For example turn your SD card into an encrypted device. There are several HOWTOs on this.

Probably in devel repositories. Try power search with crypt / crypting keywords.

Me too! Please anyone port truecryt with a GUI to the N900. In return i offer PR 1.4!

No seriously: Truecrypt rocks we need that. N900 is a computer not a phone. It deserves truecrypt.
