I don't understand, does zip -e not ask you for a password?
From the man pages:
[quote]
-e Encrypt the contents of the zip archive using a password which is entered on the terminal in response to a prompt (this will not be echoed; if standard error is not a tty, zip will exit with an error). The password prompt is repeated to save the user from typing errors.

That's great. Although I'm not that good in writing from a command prompt like environment but its worth the trouble if you really want to protect your files even with a Unix system.
