Crypt?? or zip or compress like thing??
gzip, tar, bzip2, compress all can do that.

On windows-winzip know gzip, tar and compress.

There are many crypt/decrypt utilities available but one approach would be to download and install zip on your HP-UX box.

You may also want to get unzip from the same source. These UNIX versions are compatible with the Windows pkzip utilities and support encryption.

Plan B. Use sftp or ssh so that encryption during transmission is implicit and automatic.

If you had bothered to examine the man page for zip/unzip, you would have found that there is an encryption option.
