ZIP encryption

[brodgers]

What is the encryption level in the zip-plugin when making a self-extraction zip file? There does not seem to be a slef-extractor option for your stronger encryption (ena files)?

Thanks,

ZIP plugin does not support stronger encryption (only really weak standard ZIP encryption). You can use Encrypt & Decrypt plugin for strong encryption, but it cannot create self-extracting archives.

Improvements of both plugins (AES for ZIP plugin and SFX for Encrypt&Decrypt plugin) are in plan for future versions, but I'm afraid that they have very low priority (we received only few requests).
