How about "openssl'?

Encrypt a TARed directory:

$ tar cjf - /path/to/source/folder | \
openssl enc -e -bf -out OUTFILE.tgz.enc -pass pass:MYSILLYPASS


Decrypt:

$ openssl enc -d -bf           \
     -in OUTFILE.tgz.enc       \
     -out OUTFILE.tgz          \
     -pass pass:MYSILLYPASS

There are also ways to encrypt with keys, see manpage.
