Additional Information

Security

The Security Page allows you to work with secure archives.

Securing an Archive

When creating an archive the Security page offers two core options:

Security

To create a secure archive select the Secure Archive option and use the following security options provided:

The value for passphrase must be between at least 8 characters and not exceed 250 characters in length.

Accessing a Secure Archive

To access a secure archive you must provide the passphrase that was used to secure the archive.

On the Security Page specify the passphrase that was used to secure the archive. This can be done either of the two methods:

No Encryption

Set the archive to use no encryption as part of the archiving process when creating or updating the archive. 

Secure Archive

Text Passphrase

A text phrase which is used by the encryption algorithm to encrypt the archive. Should be between 8 and 250 characters. 

Text File Containing Passphrase.

A text file which contains a text phrase which is used by the encryption algorithm to encrypt the archive. Should be between 8 and 250 characters. 

Use Strong Encryption

Whether to use a strong encryption algorithm. This will give greater security to the zip archive at the cost of time required for generating the archive and extracting from it.  

Select Encryption Algorithm

The encryption algorithm to use during the strong encryption process. Each algorithms has its pro's and con's and we simply provide the ability to select the ones available on the tool. We suggest each should be reviewed for its potential weaknesses and what this means in your environment. 

Encrypt File Names

Whether the names of the files include in the archive should be encrypted as well. 

Filters

The SecureZIP Filters page can be used to specify the criteria that items have to meet before they are selected when creating and extracting archives

The Filters page allows you to specify the following criteria:

Note that if the filters are set in a way that no files meet the criteria the action will fail.

Before using Date filters make sure you have specified the expected date format on the options page. For more information on specifying the date format click here.

Filters allow for including or excluding files based on their date modified, age, or size. A file has to meet all the filter requirements to be included into the archive. Also the upper and lower bounds of each filter can be set individually or at the same time if required.

Date

Before

Files modified on or before the selected date will be included. Files found which are after this date will not be marked for inclusion.

Age

Older Than

Larger Than

Exclude List

The SecureZIP Exclude List page allows you specify a list of items that will be ignored when creating or extracting an archive.

On the Exclude List page enter the names of the files that you wish to exclude from the process and when the action is run these files will be ignored.

The Exclude List page also provides an option to specify a File Exclude List which allows you to specify a text file that contains the exclude list.
