Hi,
What would be a reasonably secure and simple way to encrypt files on Linux and
then send them to a non-technical Windows user so she would be able decrypt
and read them?
Any ideas? Thanks
I maintain a working Windows installation for use-cases like this and
have installed PeaZip:
https://peazip.en.softonic.com/
I use PeaZip to create a self-extracting encrypted 7z archive -- an
*.exe file -- and send the archive by e-mail or Dropbox.
Once the receipt figures out how to obtain the archive -- anti-spyware
and e-mail clients tend to block *.exe files -- they can run the
archive, enter the password in a pop-up dialog, and extract the files
via a small GUI.
