I need to create a link to a external server that requires extensive url security.
Requirements are API uses MD5 algorithm for hashing, Blowfish algorithm for encryption, Base64 for encoding and Gzip for compression.
Is there a free tool to help build this type of URL's?
HELP!
The heck? You're intending to encrypt your URLs? You realise that this will make your site impossible to access?

I think he wants the hyperlink encoded so people don't know where it goes, and it gets converted on click and the URL in the address bar is masked.
No, I don't think so... that wouldn't require encryption, hashing and encoding. Not entirely sure what he does want, though.

This is a requirement to access very sensitive data sitting on a outside server.
I need to provide a link so the user can see the data in a pdf (which is suppled by the return Url).
I have no clue how to do this.

More information.
The client provided a dll that according to the documentation will help build the URL. I'm using DW8 how do I call/execute a dll?

DW8 won't execute a dll. In fact, nothing will, short of activex, maybe.
dowens, your question is misleading. It's impossible to encrypt an URL (unless you intend to write your own web browser to decrypt it again).
