There are many options.  I use "encfs" which is pretty simple to use and
encrypts each file individually.  Note that encfs is probably not the most
secure solution available; see the "Security Concerns" section at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS but it's good enough for me.

You could use LUKS if you prefer full-disk encryption.
