When I did something similar, I wrote a C applet to do this.
You can't use standard tools because Windows pads the data differently.

I used mcrypt with rijndael-128 and cbc
Has been working successfully for a number of years.

In order to get it to work, I had to do the en/decryption both ways in
windows, and keep the data at each step, then replicate the data at the
linux side.

I think the main issue is that on linux, the data is 0 padded.
On windows, the data is padded with a byte containing the length (in
bytes) of the padding.
