This is going to a problem for me if it catches on people will think it is "cool" to password their zip files, and since I block them.... Just thought I'd "heads up" the group in case any of you automatically block encrypted files as well.
A choice of Zip 2.0 or 128- or 256-bit AES encryption AES encryption provides much greater cryptographic security than the traditional Zip 2.0 encryption method used in earlier versions of WinZip. Encryption applied to an attachment is done when the file is zipped. The recipient of the attachment must then use a password to extract the contents from the Zip file. The Companion's advanced encryption (FIPS-197 certified) uses the Rijndael cryptographic algorithm which, in 2001, was specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 197 as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Note: Recipients to whom you send AES-encrypted Zip files must have a compatible Zip file utility, such as WinZip 9.0, in order to decrypt the files.
