There are currently two standard levels of encryption for Zip files, 128 and 256 bits, with 256-bit encryption far superior to the 128-bit version. Fortunately, the major zip utilities support this level of encryption.

Note: There is a trade-off between using AES-256 and ZipCrypto. AES-256 is proven much more secure than ZipCrypto, but if you select AES-256 the recipient of the zip file may have to 7-zip or another zip program to read the file contents.

Right-click on the zip folder you want to encrypt. Alternately, you can press and hold on the file when using touch-enabled devices. Select "Properties" from the new menu and click "Advanced." Choose the "Encrypt Contents to Secure Data Box" option.
