Replace test1.txt? es, o, ll, one, ename: yįor floder encryption use -r option with zip command. Replace test.txt? es, o, ll, one, ename: y To unzip encrypted zip file, just run the following command and input the password once.
test.txt & test1.txt : These are files to be encrypted.# zip -encrypt test.zip test.txt test1.txt These utilities are not pre-installed, so use a distribution official repository to install.įor Debian/Ubuntu, use apt-get command or apt command to install zip. Zip is available in most of the operating systems own repository. The zip program puts one or more compressed files into a single zip archive, along with information about the files (name, path, date, time of last modification, protection, and check information to verify file integrity). The program is useful for packaging a set of files for distribution for archiving files and for saving disk space by temporarily compressing unused files or directories. Zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix/Linux operating system. This algorithm uses cipher key with length of SHA-256 bits. 7zip compression methods supports encryption with AES-256 algorithm. Zip encryption is known to be insecure due to PKZIP stream cipher algorithm.

We all know about zip & 7zip archives but we didn’t use even a single time for password protection. In this article we are going to show you, how to encrypt/decrypt files and folders in Linux using native zip & 7zip archives. We have covered many articles about files and folder encryption and decryption as of now.
