The new SecureZIP Toolkit for Java™ allows developers to build applications running on the Java platform that take advantage of the compression and encryption capabilities of SecureZIP.

Organizations have long had the ability to use either Java or an Open Source add-on to perform compression and encryption. With the PKWARE SecureZIP Toolkit for Java, compression and encryption are available in a single package along with extensive software support and indemnification. PKWARE has FIPS 140-2 validated libraries and uses the .zip file format.

The SecureZIP Toolkit for Java includes advanced ZIP archive management & strong data security functionality.

The SecureZIP Toolkit allows applications on multiple platforms to encrypt files using a wide range of industry and government standard symmetric key algorithms including 3DES and AES. Files can be encrypted using either passphrases or X.509-compliant digital certificates, providing the flexibility to work within different security environments. Digital signature capabilities are also available to help ensure file authenticity, integrity, and to support non-repudiation. Additionally, standard retrieval of x.509 certificates from Java Keystores or LDAP-compliant directories is supported.

• Filename encryption enables the encryption of filenames and other file meta data to ensure no sensitive information is exposed.
• Uses Pure Java Class Library (JAR)
• Java interface
• X.509 digital certificate support for encryption and digital signatures.
• Available encryption methods include: AES (128-, 192-, and 256-bit), 3DES (168-bit),SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.
• Decryption methods include: AES (128-, 192-, and 256-bit), 3DES (168-bit).
• Uses FIPs validated libraries
• Compliant with the industry-standard Application Note, which defines the .ZIP file format used by millions of people worldwide. Multithread-enabled.
• UTF-8 International File Name Storage
