Every file has a owner. Every owner has a password. You check for
the owner with ls -al and it will give you something like this:

karl@karl-hardy:~$ ls -al test
-rw-r--r-- 1 karl karl 528 2008-08-11 16:40 test

The -rw means read and write. The karl means user karl is the owner.

There are many possibilities. One is to archive it with password.
Another is to use mcrypt, which is suggested here:

I'm fairly certain the OP doesn't mean Unix permissions (which can be
bypassed in a myriad of ways), Karl.

Encryption methods worth looking at include cryptsetup-luks, gpg, and
True Crypt.
