Most faxes these days are unencrypted.

If you know how to eavesdrop, faxes are less secure than google to google email. Or if you need to be certain you zip encrypted the file, send it over, and then call with the password… Or fax the password.

Use 7zip, not zip. You can encrypt the filenames too that way. Even Windows natively supports 7zip these days.

Regarding the password, if you need to be more certain (and don’t want to get into public key cryptography), you could send the password through snail mail in a tamper-evident envelope.
