The latest version DOES have support for 7Zip as well as ZIPX. Personally I purchased the latest version of SecureZip () as it’s only $29 and comes with free updates for 1 year the licence is perpetual (for life) however.
It is also signed with an Microsoft Authenticode digital signature.

For anybody concerned IT IS legitimate software and the SHA1 hash is: 1117225EDBF4842570DA3E8229183A5A4F8B228D.
Obviously they’ve not updated the software since the giveaway. I too am amazed that link still works but they did promise, when PKWare released the software, that it’d be ‘free for life’. I like the integration of SecureZIP into Microsoft Office which makes it easy to share files securely with colleagues, SecureZIP is more secure than WinZip and is the choice of the federal government and many financial institutions so most places can accept files encrypted in that format. While it’s available for free, SecureZIP is a tool well worth adding to your collection.Ī great piece of software and far lighter on resources than WinZip which is slow and inefficient. SecureZIP might not have all the latest features such as support for 7Z or ZIPX but it’s a very capable archiver with a feature set still not available in many of the popular free or paid archivers around today. It has support for creating ZIP, EXE, TAR, JAR, and opening ZIP, PKSFX, BZ2, TBZ, BZ, CAB, TAR, GZ, TGZ, RAR, LZH, LHA, ARJ, UUE, XXE, HQX and JAR archives. We tested this feature in Office 20 and it worked great, the tab in your Office program will be called PKZIP.īesides those special features, SecureZIP supports all the functions a decent archiver might have, such as creating a self extracting executable, testing archives, a favorites list, a list file system to batch add files to an archive, ease of use wizard and default folders.

It can open a ZIP archive and the containing document inside when you browse for it or compress the Office file straight out to a standard or secure ZIP. The main Office integration feature will add either some menu entries (Office 2003) or a new tab (Office 2007/2010/2013) to your Office applications.
There is also an Outlook plugin that can automatically compress attachments into a standard or secure ZIP before sending. You can choose to let SecureZIP automatically open ZIP archive content in an associated program if the archive contains a single recognized file such as a DOC or a PDF. Other than high levels of security, SecureZIP also offers another premium feature which is integration with Microsoft Office via an included PKZIP plugin.

If you wish to know how to export your certificate to another computer, the Comodo Certificates FAQ shows you how. The certificate is installed on your system directly from the Comodo email and then you can use it to digitally sign your ZIP archive or specific files inside the archive. The good news is you can go to Comodo yourself and sign up for a free Comodo Email Certificate which works with SecureZIP. The SecureZIP program does have a facility to create a Comodo digital certificate on demand but sadly this function no longer works due to the programs age. This means your created ZIPs are digitally signed for extra security. What is perhaps unique to PKWare products, SecureZIP has integrated digital certificate (x.509) encryption with the capability of using digital signatures to distribute more secure archives. That’s useful if you want to distribute one archive and grant different users access to different files inside. Also available is advanced filename encryption and the ability to encrypt only specific files in the archive with different passphrases. SecureZIP can create archives with a good level of encryption via 3DES (168 bit) and AES (128, 192 and 256 bit) which includes the option of a traditional passphrase or a stronger passphrase that can include spaces and other non-alphanumeric characters. You won’t find tons of different archive formats supported or fancy options like FTP or disc burning support, just several options for creating standard ZIP archives and securely encrypted ZIP archives. What makes SecureZIP still a viable tool, is as the name suggests, it’s an archiver that focuses very much on security above anything else.

Unbelievably, that giveaway link still works and you can install and use SecureZIP for free!
#Secure zip pkware full version#
PKWare offered version 12 of SecureZIP free of charge to everyone for a limited time around 2008 and you could legitimately download the full version from the PKWare website at no cost. In 2004 PKWare released another program called SecureZIP, this is a shareware archiver with some quite unique features costing $39.95.
