Good day.

Can You please help me to direct to some documentation or project in
Debian or explain how to make the following:

after a system has been installed and configured - to make it encrypted
so that it will make impossible (or almost so) to read its files,
configuration, etc (even though the HDD be removed from the host and
connected to another running OS) - yet that it will run from turning on power 
on the host itself (boot).

- In short - possible to use, impossible to read w/o a password.

It would have been easier to set up encryption while the system is being installed. The debian installer can do that for you, as a matter of fact.

Afterwards, I'd recommend booting a live distro of your choice, backing up the data, creating an encrypted partition, restoring the data and then editing /etc/fstab and other places where it might be necessary to change the filesystem references. You might need a new initramfs too.
