Wow sorry about that guys, slip of the finger :( Either way I was going to say basically what you're looking for is an all-inclusive encryption solution that runs from cd (I assume for windows), right? What you can do is create an encrypted container file in Truecrypt, fill it with whatever you need, then send them a CD with that blob and the portable version of Truecrypt (if memory serves they have one). Then you could wrap it in a batch file if you want to make it really easy for them. If you need more details how to do this just ask (or google it).
Of course if they're on *nix I recommend PGP, as it has very easy symmetric encryption so you don't have to worry about a key infrastructure at all (sans a passphrase of course). As for encryption, I'd recommend sticking with the standard tools out there (truecrypt, PGP, etc) as they typically have a lot more eyes on them (and thus potential to discover weaknesses in them). With a 3rd-party, closed source software you never really know. Especially if they don't specify a cipher that's been mathematically proven strong. For all you know they're just ROT-13'ing your data :-P Hope it helps!
