- Open Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility.
- Click the "New Image" icon in the toolbar (or use Images->New...->Blank Image)
- Fill in "Save as:" field with a name.
- Select an appropriate size
- Set the excryption to AES-128
- Keep the format as "read/write disk image"
- Click "Create"
- You'll be prompted for a password - enter one
- Very important: Unselect "Remember password (add to Keychain)" before clicking OK to set the password.
This creates the password-protected .dmg file. Double-click it to open it (supply the password, and don't opt to store it in your keychain, or else anyone in your account can open it). It then looks like a mounted disk image - drag things into/out of it. Eject it to return it to it's password-protected state.
