for reason beyond me we want to create zip format encrypted with AES-256, whose password can be International, on Linux.
If we use 7-zip, I found it works when creating 7z file, ie the following works:
7za a -t7z -p密码 test.7z ok.txt
However, the same command fails with error if creating zip file, as in the following:
7za a -tzip -p密码 test.zip ok.txt
Is there any way to solve this problem?
We don't have to stick to 7-zip command, any method that can create zip format with AES-256 password in International characters on Linux will do.
Please, for reason beyond me we can not use 7zip format.
This is surprising because I checked Python, Perl, Go, Rust, C, none of them offer (mature) module to do this, except resorting to a commercial software company Chilkat. Details are:
Python: only module to crate zip with AES is "pyzipper", but it does not work with non-ASCII password
Perl: none of its free module can do zip with AES.
Go: its module that does zip with AES is still in Alpha.
Rust: don't see it has module that does zip with AES.
C: there are these very interesting pages: https://www.winzip.com/en/support/aes-encryption/tips/ https://github.com/abhay/gladman-aes However expecting us to do all the coding to implement a correct encryption program is still far fetched, due to the various issues mentioned in that Winzip webpage.
I likely missed something, grateful if you point out.
Thanks!
