Defaults to using AES-256 instead of ZipCrypto in the zip format

Open cherinyy opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Hi,

The 7-Zip software has long used the ZipCrypto encryption algorithm in the zip format by default for compatibility issues, rather than the more secure AES-256. However, at this time, most popular archive software should support decompression of zip archives using the AES-256 encryption algorithm. Even Microsoft is planning to use libarchive for archive files in Windows, so I wonder if we no longer think there are still compatibility issues? So maybe NanaZip could try to change the default configuration.

Best regards, wordlesswind
