i want to protect my tar or zip archiv with a password. is there a way to do that? or do i need another compress-utility in terminal?

thanks for all!
 
You could put it on an AES-encrypted disk image with Disk Copy. This would require a password to decrypt it and access the contents of the disk image (your tar or zip files).
 
Use openssl, fairly simple and you already have it!

Example:
openssl bf -salt -in file01.tar -out file01.tar.bf
enter bf-cbc encryption password:
and thats it
