It probably deserves to be noted that there is an explicit tension 
between preservation and encryption here. The chances of being able to 
recover from various catastrophic failures is substantially reduced by 
the move to encryption.

Having said that, if I needed to do this, I'd use file-system level 
encryption for the entire directory. Depending on your platform this 
might be eCryptfs (linux), BitLocker (Microsoft) or FileVault (MacOS).
