Ok, I use a freeware program that is called PGP. It uses Public/Private Key encryption. It is very good, but I think that the new version has a trial on it, so I am hosting a backed version on my site that has no trial. The file size is lik 8 Megs and I only get a gig of bandwidth per month, so try not to constantly download it seven times a day or I'll have to move the file.

There are some very good docs that come with it that explain all about how Public/Private Encryption works, but basically you use one key to encrypt and a different one to decypt. This means that you can send your buddy something that he and only he can decrypt. It also has a powerful freespace wipe feature that will make data that you have deleted from your hard-drive unrecoverable no matter what tool the user uses.

It is hard to explain the keys, but if you have a bit of knowledge, you'll be able to figure it out and the docs that come with it do a good job of explaining.
