The Standard .zip Crypto (know as "ZipCrypto") is 100% trash.
However, it is possible to use AES-256 encryption in 7zip (and even WinZip, not that anyone actually uses that anymore...)
- srslack 12y agoAnd even 7zip's AES implementation is hand-rolled, iirc, so I wouldn't exactly trust it with my life.
- dingaling 12y ago> and even WinZip Most big corps still use licensed WinZip, but we've had problems sending AES-encrypted-by-WinZip files to external MS Windows users because the built-in Windows Explorer dezipping algo can't handle AES. The users double-click on the encrypted Zip file and receive some irrelevant error message ( 'could not create temp file' or thereabouts ). So often one has to fall-back to the Zip encryption algo.
