(More) Specifics:

  • Undoing the protection should include filling in a password.
  • The password should be different from the one used with sudo or any other passwords that are used for acquiring elevated privileges.

All (possible) solutions and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Perhaps additional specifications:

  • With 'displace‘, I mean anything involving that resembles the result of mv, cp (move, cut, copy) or whatsoever. The files should remain in their previously assigned locations/places and should not be able to ‘pop up’ anywhere.
  • I require for the files to be unreadable.
  • I don’t care if it’s modifiable or not.
  • I don’t require this for my whole system! Only for a specific set of files.

      I already use FDE. However, unless I’m wrong, FDE does not protect disk clone from occurring. Therefore, if one has access to the password, then also they have access to all my files; including the ones I specifically want to protect. Am I wrong?

      So, I’ll make it simple for ya, you don’t need to understand why; however, I seek for some method that prevents files from being copied through disk cloning. Them files being encrypted or whatsoever doesn’t do a thing if the password is known. Unless you propose a method by which the password used to decrypt/unlock the disk on device X doesn’t work when it’s cloned to another disk. If, somehow, one has to rely on another password to decrypt the disk on device Y, then that might make it work out.
