#PKWARE SECUREZIP ZIP#

PKWARE guarantees that files encrypted with SecureZIP can be distributed and opened by any platform for which PKWARE has developed a SecureZIP product, which includes Windows, z/OS, Unix, and Linux. Users can also encrypt an entire tape dataset, without providing all the datasetвЂ™s DCB attributes, through the вЂњcataloged tape dataset processingвЂќ feature. It also supports EBCDIC/ASCII translation, 10 languages, Euro conversions, and includes SafetyX Control, which PKWARE says is an UNZIP safety table that prevents critical system-file overwriting. The list includes physical files with attributes of PF-DTA, PF-SRC, and SAVF in the QSYS file system, stream files in the IFS, SAVF, and spool files. SecureZIP for iSeries provides native support for OS/400, and includes some things you will not find in PC-oriented products, such as a command line interface, the capability to run in batch through CL, an OS/400 API, and support for program calls from RPG, Cobol, REXX, and C++ programs.ДЄccording to company officials, a variety of OS/400 file types can be encrypted with SecureZIP for iSeries. Using digital signatures with SecureZIP for iSeries will prove the identity of the sender and ensure files have not been tampered with since they were signed, which is a Sarbanes-Oxley requirement. Enabling two forms of authentication gives SecureZIP users more flexibility in sharing files, because not everybody uses PKI (but weвЂ™re all familiar with passwords, for better or for worse).ДЇor PKI-based authentication, PKWARE sells an optional module called the Advanced Encryption Module, which also brings support for X.509-based digital certificates. The authentication mechanism choices are passwords or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates. Users have two options for decrypting files that have been encrypted with SecureZIP.

This software is built on top of the relatively new PKZIP Server product (which has FTP and SMTP servers built into it) and includes an OEMвЂ™ed version of RSA SecurityвЂs BSAFE library for AES and 3DES encryption (up to 256-bit key lengths with AES). PKWAREвЂ™s solution to the problem of keeping data secure while in transit is SecureZIP.

Since 2003, the Milwaukee company has been working to augment its success in compression with new encryption and security capabilities, while maintaining the same level of cross-platform usability that made the ZIP standard a ubiquitous landmark of the networked age.

PKWARE has been in the file compression business since the companyвЂ™s founder, Phil Katz, released the first open source PKZIP product in 1986.
