I'm looking to encrypt files on my mac and have a windows user open these files. I also need the windows user to encrypt files and send them to myself on the mac and be able to open the windows encrypted file on the mac.

I did a search and seen .dmg can't be opened on windows. Is there anyway to open a dmg on windows or encrypt a file that both windows and mac can open? Any help is thankful!
 
Try pgp or gpg

gpg is basically the free version of pgp.
