Not sure what they use on Macs. We do have an Apple forum.

Took me about 0.5 seconds to google search for a solution.

You can encrypt any file with PGP.
If this is UNIX, get GnuPG from http://www.gnupg.org
If its Mac OS X, use the port of GnuPG posted by Squashman.
GnuPG is command-line (terminal) only, but you can get a GUI frontend for it
