| | PKWare Adds Encryption to Compression Software - Computerworld |
| | But Knobloch said many of the clients and insurers that Gilsbar deals with have standardized on encryption technologies developed by Palo Alto, Calif.-based PGP Corp. Because of that, it has been a challenge to get some of them to accept encrypted PKZip files from Gilsbar. | | | Encryption that's built in at the operating system level, which Microsoft includes with Windows, generally works well for protecting files on individual servers, Thompson said. | | | The new encryption functionality has been very easy to implement, he added. |

| | Certificate-based encryption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The best example of practical use of certificate-based encryption is Content Scrambling System (CSS), which is used to encode DVD movies in such a way as to make them playable only in a part of the world where they are sold. | | | Certificate-based encryption is a system in which a certificate authority uses ID-based cryptography to produce a certificate. | | | The downside of this is the requirement for regular communication between users and the certificate authority, which means the certificate authority is more vulnerable to electronic attacks (such as denial-of-service attacks) and also that such attacks could effectively stop the system from working. |

| | The recently released beta version of WinZip 9 boasts 256-bit AES encryption as well (without certificates). | | | For instance, if you select PGP encryption in PentaZip, your file will have the double extension.zip.pgp, and Windows won't try to open it as a.zip file. | | | PKWare and WinZip, makers of competing compression and encryption products, are fighting over the.zip standard--which means that.zip archive files created by one program may not be accessible by the other. |

| | And PKWare still has not released information on certificate-based encryption, so complying with it is impossible for WinZip or anyone else. | | | The problem stems from the two popular programs' implementations of a long-overdue new feature, AES encryption (the password protection built in to the previous versions of the.zip format is easily hacked). | | | (Competitors StuffIt and PentaZip put different extensions on files with secure encryption.) If you want to use the encryption in a new version of PKZip or WinZip, make sure that recipients of your files know--and that they have whichever.zip program you use. |

| | We demonstrate how certificate-based encryption can be used to construct an efficient PKI requiring less infrastructure than previous proposals, including Micali's Novomodo, Naor-Nissim and Aiello-Lodha-Ostrovsky. | | | To decrypt a message, a keyholder needs both its secret key and an up-to-date certificate from its CA (or a signature from an authorizer). | | | In this model, a certificate -- or, more generally, a signature -- acts not only as a certificate but also as a decryption key. |
