PKZIP Encryption:
PKZIP encryption is often said to be: Weak, "a joke" ,"a deception" etc. Maybe it's time to put things in the right perspective.
One must realize (yet again) the difference between: Theoretical Cryptography - and - Practical Cryptography:
Er, I don't understand. I could see why one would want to use a weak encryption system if it bought you something. However, good encryption systems are as cheap to use as bad ones. Therefore, why ever use a bad one? If the top of the line lock costs the same amount as a toy lock, why buy a toy? Perry
