  Four Hundred Stuff--PKWARE Sets SecureZIP Free with PartnerLink
PKWARE had motivation to build on the introduction of SecureZIP, a utility designed to compress, encrypt, and distribute sensitive data and documents among heterogeneous partner networks.
What PKWARE came up with is PartnerLink, a new product (actually, it's more of a creative new way of packing and distributing the existing SecureZIP product) that it is officially unveiling this week at the RSA Security conference in San Jose, California.
PKWARE has baked into PartnerLink a digital signature that prevents the software from being used by anybody except the sponsor and the partners, and the partners can only use the software to communicate directly with its sponsor.

 PKWare seeks patent for .zip file format | InfoWorld | News | 2003-07-25 | By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
Of course, PKWare will first have to be issued a patent by the U.S. Patent Office before it can begin charging licensing fees, and this may not prove easy, according to Lovato.
Lovato said that, should PKWare be awarded a patent, his company would consider paying a licensing fee, depending on its cost.
Should PKWare be awarded a patent, WinZip may simply decide not to include strong cryptography in their product and avoid any licensing fees, since strong encryption is not an important feature to the majority of desktop users, he said.

 PC World - WinZip, PKWare Call Truce in Format War
PKWare has applied for a patent on its encryption technology, an act that appears to be in violation of the open standard philosophy of the company's founder, Phil Katz.
But in recent years, as PKWare has added new encryption capabilities to PKZip, competitors have complained that PKWare was slow in releasing details of the technology.
PKWare added the most recent new feature, virtually unbreakable 256-bit AES encryption, early in 2003.

 ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ZIP file format was originally created by Phil Katz, founder of PKWARE, after a prolonged legal dispute between PKWare and System Enhancement Associates (SEA) over the trademark name "ARC" (short for "Archive") and the file name extension.arc
PKWare's first archive product, PKARC, borrowed heavily from SEA's published code, and improved on it by converting SEA's ARC C code into hand optimised assembler, which was much faster.
SEA contended that Katz had based his product on their code and trademark name, and thus ought to license the code from them and pay royalties.

Until PKWare's recent release, the company hadn't updated its posted specification since 2001; the encryption details simply weren't available.

 Is Zip coming undone? | CNET News.com
PKWare and WinZip have pointed to each other as the source of the potential confusion.
PKWare has said it plans to license its security technology as a standard for other software developers to add encryption to their Zip products.
The PKWare representative said use of the.zip extension is still appropriate because the secure files are based on the standard Zip format, which includes "versioning" support that tells users if the file is secured.
