Tar the directory(s) and use GnuPG/libgcrypt aes-256-gcm https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Available...

OpenSSL is on every system and can encrypt files with aes-256-gcm if for whatever reasons libgcrypt can't be used http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12153009/openssl-c-exampl...

Tarsnap you can copy keys to any platform that will run Tarsnap http://www.tarsnap.com/man-tarsnap-keygen.1.html http://jamesoff.net/site/2009/09/10/tarsnap-under-cygwin/

This is a huge pain for when you want to read it again. Truecrypt will let you define little mountable volumes which can be loaded as you need them.

I find tarsnap much easier/better than any block crypto mount. Intelligent backups that only synch what you've changed. Luks containers and tc-play exist if you must use a mounted container.
