#Pkware securezip zip file#
PKZIP was the first program to use the new ZIP file format, which Katz developed in conjunction with Gary Conway and subsequently released into the public domain. He released his own compression program, which he called PKZIP, in 1989. įollowing a legal settlement with Systems Enhancement Associates Inc., the owners of ARC, Katz stopped distributing PKARC.
#Pkware securezip software#
PKARC represented a radical improvement over existing compression software (including the ARC utility on which it was based) and rapidly gained popularity among individuals and corporations. PKWARE was founded in 1986 by Phil Katz, a software developer who had begun distributing a new file compression utility, called PKARC, as shareware. More recently, PKWARE has focused on enterprise data protection, developing products that integrate data discovery, encryption, and encryption key management. Katz’s ZIP innovations were a rallying point for early online bulletin board system and shareware communities. PKWARE was founded in 1986 by Phil Katz, co-inventor of the ZIP standard.

Other than a bit of new product information and the "Awards" section, I haven't included anything in my rewrite that wasn't already cited in the existing page. In summary, I removed the "History" timeline and replaced with a narrative format in 4 sections replaced the overly long "Products" section with a shorter (and up to date) version in table form moved the "Patents" below the "Products" section added an "Awards" section listing a few notable industry awards (with source notations) My suggested new content is pasted below (between "nowiki" tags). The existing page is heavy on older product details and doesn't include our recent history. Hello, I'm the communications director for PKWARE and would like to suggest a rewrite for this page that would make it shorter, more accurate, more relevant, and would actually tone down some of the promotional content that's in the article now. This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
#Pkware securezip license#
So, the short question: will BC lib be able to decrypt the test zip file encrypted by SecureZIP and our cert? Or do we have to license SecureZIP for our part necessarily?Īny other tool or solution featuring files zip compression + encryption by certs which can be decrypted using BC?Īnd if file decryption using BC should be possible, the long question: how exactly? Please post a java example (full if possible). Pkzipc -add -dir=current -recipient="our_public_key" -keypassphrase="password" test.zip example.xml They selected AES 256 as symmetric algorithm, together to our RSA public key to encrypt the test file. They have used our public key to encrypt a test file they sent to us. We provided the other company our RSA public key (.cer). We are using Bouncy Castle (BC) library to try to unzip + decrypt. On our side our application is pure Java.

We have to automatically send/receive zipped + encrypted hundreds of files per day to/from another company and they desire to use SecureZip by PKWARE at their side for this task.
