7. Secure sensitive files. To keep sensitive or confidential information safe, store it on a Zip disk and use your Zip Tools software to assign a password that must be used in order to read from or write to the disk. At work, you can protect sensitive information such as personnel files, company directories, and product plans and designs. At home, you can secure personal information such as tax records, budgets, and computerized checkbooks.

FWIW (not much), Iomega claims that it can't recover the data on a password-protected disk. However, they do export those things, so I doubt it's strong.

Well, I think one way to find out is to create 2 identical zip disks and encrypt them with different passwords. Then do sector by sector compare and see where the beast is hiding at :) Leo.
