ZipGenius goes one step forward!
We do really care about compatibility with other utilities and about interoperability. That’s why we provide our own CZIP Encryption Feature: a good way to protect zip archives and make sure that they could be accessed from other utilites’ users.
How does it work?
That’s truly simple: when you convert a ZIP archive into a CZIP one, you are building a secure envelope for your standard ZIP archive. You can set many options and you can even decide to make those archives to lock or destroy themselves when somebody tries three times to open them by using a wrong passphrase. Also, when you need to share that secure archive, you can transform it in a Windows executable so that people not using ZipGenius could have access to the archive (if they know the right passphrase).
How much strong is it?
You decide. We offer 4 different algorhythms and you choose which fits to your needings.
- CZIP native – proprietary, encrypts bytes after bytes. Really slow. Strength untested.
- Blowfish – really fast, it offers basic strength.
- Twofish – slower than Blowfish, it offers twice the strength of Blowfish.
- Rijndael (AES-256) – slow but powerful encryption technique, highly suggested.
And if you want something stronger…
