Use GPG and encrypt the files.
I've been reading a bit about GPG (I haven't used it before) and it
seems to use the same public key encryption concept as the
certificates used in S/MIME or SSL/TLS. The only difference between
them seem to be that GPG trust is based on a decentralized web of
trust while digital certificates are based on a root certification
authority. Am I right?
Yes and no. You can do simmetrical encryption with pgp/gpg.
