You can use ecryptfs-utils to encrypt a folder, and it asks for password under Ubuntu. Not sure about Windows though.

  • +1 That's what I was going to say but was going to add that Windows shouldn't be able to read from the ext file system format linux and Ubuntu normally uses. But if it can be read from windows like described in the question, go for the encryption. – mchid Aug 13 '14 at 10:01
  • You can use ext2fsd to read ext partitions from Windows. – meskobalazs Aug 13 '14 at 10:03
