SecureZIP

SecureZIP is a software product developed by PKWARE, Inc. It is designed to provide secure data compression and encryption capabilities. The software allows users to compress files and folders into archives, similar to standard ZIP files, but with the added feature of strong encryption.

The primary function of SecureZIP is to protect sensitive data during storage and transmission. It supports various encryption algorithms, including AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with 128-bit and 256-bit key lengths, which are considered robust security standards. This encryption ensures that only authorized individuals with the correct password or decryption key can access the contents of the compressed files.

SecureZIP is often used by businesses and individuals to safeguard confidential information, such as financial records, personal data, and intellectual property. Its features can include password protection, certificate-based encryption, and secure shredding of original files after encryption, further enhancing data security. The software can be integrated into various workflows and operating systems, offering flexibility for different user needs. It aims to provide a comprehensive solution for secure file archiving and transfer.
