Transparent compression and encryption

in windows you can encrypt and compress file via it properties.
It compress the file in a way that is transparent, I mean you do know that it is compressed, but you can work with it as if it is not, you don't need to decompress it in order to edit it or watch it.
The same go for encryption as long as you log via the same user that encrypted it.

Is there something similar to this in linux generally and or in ubuntu specifically?

NAME
Ns_Gzip, Ns_SetGzipProc - GZIP compression support SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_Gzip(buf, len, level, dsPtr) void Ns_SetGzipProc(proc) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_DString dsPtr (out) Output buffer to placed compressed string. int len (in) Length of string pointed to by buf. char *buf (in) Pointer to string to compress. int level (in) Requested GZIP compression level. Ns_GzipProc proc (in) Procedure to GZIP content. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
These functions enable GZIP compress of text buffers. int Ns_Gzip(buf, len, level, dsPtr) This function compresses a string pointed to by buf of length len, appending the output to the given dsPtr. The output buffer must already be initialized. The level parameter specifies the compress level between 0 and 9; see the documentation in the zlib.h for details. The function will return NS_OK if compression was successful, otherwise NS_ERROR. A call to Ns_SetGzipProc to install a compression function must have already occured. The nszlib module will install a suitable function when loaded. void Ns_SetGzipProc(proc) This function is used to install a compression function for Ns_Gzip. A call to Ns_SetGzipProc would normally be in the module-load routine of a module which provides compression support, e.g., the nszlib module. The function should match the type Ns_GzipProc: typedef int Ns_GzipProc( char *buf, int len, int level, Tcl_DString *dsPtr ); KEYWORDS
