To avoid the problem of unauthorised access, Ubuntu allows you to
specify that user's home directories are encrypted. You can also set
up just an encrypted "Private" folder for each user. Note, though,
that if the passphrase for the encrypted data is lost, no one, not
even root, will be able to decode it.
