Is there an application like that from symbian OS, where you can keep your photos, videos, notes, audio files, locked with a password, encrypted so unless you had the password to open the application you can't see the files? i'm really missing symbian this week.



EDIT: sorry for the wrong section, the thread was gonna be about the games from symbian but there was already a topic so i decided to ask this instead, guess i forgot to change it :3

truecrypt - Cross platform Disk Encryption, allows encrypted containers or partitions.

Password Safe is just to store passwords behind one master password.

I donwloaded it, but it's not quite what i'm looking for, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdgAEBeZeEw this is the symbian application, there you can open it *with the password* and browse hidden photos, videos, notes, etc that are encrypted within the application

There is (lots of) instructions found by Google about TrueCrypt, i.e.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt

You can install truecrypt to N900 either from Application manager or on command line:
$ sudo apt-get install truecrypt

I'd recommend an external microSD-card which would have truecrypt partition.
