fcorbelli/zpaqfranz 63.4

Windows executables and source code

on GitHub

Added

• Experimental FRANZEN encrypted format support significantly improved.

  • Can be enabled easily during (a) phase using -franzen password.
  • Works with or without the -key option.
  • Encryption can be done:
    • Only with FRANZEN, or
    • With standard zpaq and then additionally cascaded with FRANZEN.

• New command: work ispasswordok

  • Quickly checks if the password for a .franzen file is valid.

• New switch: -memzero

  • Wipes FRANZEN data structures from memory.
  • Mostly unnecessary in practice (it’s unlikely someone will dump your RAM just to steal your password), but included anyway.

Notes

• The FRANZEN format and its related parameters are still under heavy development.
  • They are ABSOLUTELY not suitable for anything beyond experimentation.
  • The header does not store the version of zpaqfranz used, so there is zero backward compatibility.
