I'm trying to use byte-block streams (iterators taking iterables) as the basic structure of getting data in and out. I think the encryption/ decryption can then be plugged in at the right point. If it can be set up properly, you can import the encryption separately and connect it to zipfiles with a call. Would this address what you want? I believe there is an issue actually building in the encryption/decryption in terms of redistribution. -- -- Scott David Daniels Scott.Daniels at Acm.Org
