Yeah, but it's a "Windows user" at the other end, and (s)he's "too

One cross-platform encryption method would be to use OpenSSL
(https://www.openssl.org/). The Linux user might use the following
commands.
Encryption:
openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100 -in plaintext.txt -out

They can be seen without password. To protect against that use Zip
