This works if you have a single-user system, but it's not great if you have a shared machine. I think he's asking for a file vault of some sort where you can maintain your own home directory as encrypted separate from the whole filesystem. I'm not currently aware of any such mechanism in Fedora, but I'd be interested to find out if I'm wrong.
