Hi, I am trying to zip and encrypt files in Java (1.6) with a password based on the earlier Zip 2.0 encryption. I have used AES 256 bit encrytpion to encrypt zip files with password and have successfully been able to do so.
Though AES is a stronger and a more secure encryption standard, i need to find a standard that is more widely supported across all zip clients so that the users have a higher success rates opening the password protected zip files. So i was looking for some Zip 2.0 based encryption to encrypt my files. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
