What’s SecureZip

SecureZip (www.securezip.com) is a file compressing application developed by PKWARE that helps ensuring information stored in your local hard disk, laptops or event email attachments are protected against unauthorized access. When you are performing a compressing of a file or multiple files perhaps, SecureZip provide an option to lock the final compressed file with a passphase (password in SecureZip’s terms). Without the passphase, no way files can be extracted. Digital certificate-based encryption and digital signatures are also options in SecureZip to help ensure data security and data integrity.

SecureZip is free for download for the time being. This limited time offer gives you free license to use the application with full functions. All you need to do is visit the website, enter your email address and hit submit. Download link to a copy of SecureZip will be sent via email.

SecureZip works like any other compression software; it provides an instant zipping option the moment you right click on targeted file. SecureZip is also capable of creating a self-extractor – that means a compression of files in .exe format that will self extract when execute.

Verdict

This application looks to me like a winzip but a more more secured version. It’s definetely worth a try, everything looks good except that the size of the setup file was quite big – 12MB. Click here to read more about SecureZIP – The next generation of ZIP
