Do NOT rely on the zip format for encryption purposes. More proof from the writers of gzip and also in the great crypto book, "Applied Cryptography", it is easy to crack. You are right to use PGP or a proven cryptography package like openssl with a good cryptographic algorithm, like DES3.

Play that funky music white boy..
