Zip and Rar are compression formats and don't really do anything with
encryption. You can just Google for the Zip File format and Rar file format
and get the file layouts.

Actually here is a good link, just search for zip, its in there
www.wotsit.org

great resource. both rar and zip are there, I just searched.

Now, for your encryption questoin.

There are two types of encryption, asymmetrical and symmetrical encryption.
Asymetrical is most known as public key encryption, where one key encrypts
the data and another one decrypts it. This is most notably seen in the RSA
encryption method (good reading).

Symmetrical uses the same key to decrypt as it does to encrypt (sometimes
using an Initializiation Vector (IV) to facilitate encryption further).
Each one has its own purpose, it just depends what /how you want to use it.

What do you want to know about it further?

Do you want to know /how/ to do that (algorithms), or do you just wand
to encrypt or compress data?

Cross-Language Encryption: Python/Java

by: Daniel Orner | last post by:

Hello, I'm working on a project that consists of a Java application on the desktop, and a server with Python CGI code. I'm trying to find an encryption algorithm, which would let me send encrypted information to the server, to work identically in both Python and Java. (I.e. which would let me encrypt data in Java, send it to the Python server, and decrypt it there.) For various reasons, I don't want to use the built-in Java encryption...

Oracle ODBC error with ENCRYPTION

by: Cliff | last post by:

We are trying to connect to 3 different Oracle databases using MS Access as the front-end and ODBC as the connection. The problem that we are having is that 1 of the databases requires a CRYPTO_SEED. With the sqlnet.ora file configured for the encryption, the other 2 databases won't connect and vise versa. Is there a way to make the connections use encryption when required and not use it when not required. We are using 9i client...

Encryption keys

Ok, time to ask the question here.. I have been battling over this one for sometime now and just have to ask it. I have created a few classes that I use to act a security keys.

Encryption of application configuration block

This all seems to work fine apart from when I come to secure the app.config file via encryption. I have encrypted the connectionsettings block in the config file but obviously when I come to deploy the solution to other PC's, it cannot read the block as it doesn't have the keys to decrypt.
