Greetings,
Does anyone know of an archiving utility that supports
passwords?
I'm working on an app where the documents are bundles
and the main contents for the document are just files
within the bundle. I'd like to provide a way for the
user to password-protect their file.
My first thought is to tar up the files, which gives
the added benefit of shrinking the "file" size. man
tar, gzip -h, zip -h did not reveal any password
options...

How portable does it need to be?
If you are just passing something around to other Mac users then you could
use the disk copy application found in Applications/Utility. It offers
the ability to
create password protected/ encrypted disk images.
The command line version requires a little be of shell script to
automate everything
but it's called hdiutil and the man page on it is actually useful.
Some older but useful links about hdiutil
