But now, "there is significant interest in compression and encryption at the server level for batch file transfers," said David Thompson, an analyst at Meta Group Inc. PKZip and similar compression technologies have primarily been used at the client level in the past. "But we are taking that on one client at a time," Knobloch said. Because of that, it has been a challenge to get some of them to accept encrypted PKZip files from Gilsbar. But Knobloch said many of the clients and insurers that Gilsbar deals with have standardized on encryption technologies developed by Palo Alto, Calif.-based PGP Corp. The new encryption functionality has been very easy to implement, he added.

The ZIP format was defined by Phil Katz of PKWARE.With an April 1 deadline looming for complying with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Knobloch said Gilsbar plans to use PKWare's new software to compress and encrypt all records containing patient health information, as required by the law. Thanks to Gilles Vollant on which this work is originally based on. This project would not have been as good without you.

Thanks go out to all the people who have taken the time to contribute code reviews, testing and/or patches. Or alternatively, zlib-ng by Hans Kristian Rosbach. Written by Mark Adler and Jean-loup Gailly. Installed then it will be used, otherwise CMake will retrieve the source code for the library from its official git repository and compile it in when the MZ_FETCH_LIBS option is enabled. Third-party libraries may be required based on the CMake options selected.

The motivation behind this repository has been the need for new features and bug fixes to the original library which had The original project can still be found in the zlib distribution that is maintained by Mark Adler. Since that time, it has been continually improved upon and contributed to by many people.

It was first included in the zlib distribution as an additional code contribution starting in zlib 1.1.2. Minizip was originally developed by Gilles Vollant in 1998. Not ABI compatible with original minizip. Old changes to original minizip that includes WinZip AES encryption, disk splitting, I/O buffering and some additional fixes. Minizip-ng is a zip manipulation library written in C that is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux.ĭeveloped and maintained by Nathan Moinvaziri.
