SecureZip Free Version Is Just Winzip Encryption

Several people are writing about the once-not free-now-free encryption tool SecureZip.

Don’t be fooled by the talk of digital certificates however. The free version doesn’t let you use anything more than passwords to encrypt files (albeit with 256 bit AES) – it’s really just Winzip encryption.

The layout of the software is also a bit confusing, the word signatures is thrown around and no warnings are given if you create a SecureZip file that isn’t encrypted. (Files are not encrypted by default).

You can read the review or find out how easy it is to crack Winzip passwords.
