GnuPG is a freely available, widely used (at least in open software
communities) encryption/digital signature software, and I believe
it is secure enough for most applications.

If you can convert those files into PDF, I think you can put signature
on those files via Adobe Acrobat.
An obvious benefit of this solution is that the signature validation
mechanism is integrated into the Acrobat Reader, and readers of the
documents don't have to run another software to validate the signature.
I have no experience with Acrobat, but I guess it is secure enough and
not difficult to use.

Tom
