Class EncryptionMethods

Enumeration representing different encryption methods.

Inheritance

System.Object

EncryptionMethods

Namespace: IronZip.Enum

Assembly: IronZip.dll

Syntax

public sealed class EncryptionMethods : Enum

EncryptionMethods selects how an IronZip archive is encrypted. AES256 and AES128 apply modern AES encryption, with AES256 the stronger of the two, while Traditional uses legacy ZIP 2.0 encryption for compatibility with older tools that cannot read AES. Assign the value to ZipSaveOptions.EncryptionMethod, or pass it to IronZipArchive.Encrypt or SetPassword alongside the password. The password-protect ZIP example shows it in a complete save, and the access-protected ZIP example covers reading one back.

options.EncryptionMethod = EncryptionMethods.AES256;
