I am searching for a command line (!) tool which en- and decrypts files and folders
with the well known AES algorithm. I should be able either to pass the password as parameter
resp. the program should ask the user for a password at the command line.

Can someone recommend me such a tool for WinXP ?

Again, it should not (only) be a GUI based encryption utility but a small, ressource friendly
command line based tool.

How about cipher.exe, with Encrypting File System (EFS) enabled?
