The answer is "yes", but you aren't quite asking the right question.
Here's an analogy. It's quite likely that you know about "Cocoa" -- the Mac OS X "API" for creating many types of applications. It would sound odd to ask "Can I use Cocoa to browse the web?" Rather, you would ask if somebody has written a web browser in Cocoa. Now replace "many types of applications" with "many types of file systems". MacFUSE gives 3rd-party developers the ability to create a variety of file system functionality. What developers do with it is largely up to to the developers. MacFUSE isn't an "app" that you run. It's an SDK that'll sit there doing nothing if you don't get or write an application *atop* it. The answer to "Is there an encrypted file system for MacFUSE?" is "yes". There are several, actually. For example: EncFS: http://www.arg0.net/encfs TrueCrypt (disk level): http://www.truecrypt.org/ CryptoFS: http://reboot.animeirc.de/cryptofs/ Of these, EncFS maps best to what I think you are looking for.
