Just a brief question. There's a compression/archiving package on the Mac call Stuffit. It comes in the usual Lite (get free then register) and Deluxe (money first, product later) flavours. It offers, amongst it's options, an encryption option on a 'per archive entry'. This means you can have an archive with a mix of encrypted and unencrypted files and folders, all in the same archive. Question is - does anyone know anything about the strength or trustability of the encryption algorithm used ? It's freely exportable from the US (or so I thought) so it can't be DES. Is it (down) on a level with the MS Word or Wordperfect ciphers, or is it a little better ? How far should I trust it ? -Jon -- Jonathon Fletcher, "these opinions are my own, no-one else's" jonathon@japan.sbi.com
