crypting dir & files ?

[raptor]

hi,

I want to crypt some files/dirs. I dont want make separate partitions to host them.
Just some simple command, something like :

crypt --pass=xxx /DIR dest-file.cry
or
crypt --pass=xxx files* dest-file.cry

later on :

uncrypt --pass=xxx dest-file.cr

? is there something like this ?
