Sure zip ist portable but using zip ist not an option. I you use zip on encrypted data it's not really good at compression (happens that these files get even bigger...)

Properly encrypted data is, by definition, indistinguishable from random data, and random data cannot be compressed.


and second our encoded data is embedded in a own format. So there might be restriction from patents and whatever.

No idea what that means or what it has to do with your choice of archive format and compression.
