We've discussed on the premise that we add the API for supporting ZIP encryption. In this context, Sherman tried to implement AES encryption extending current API. [1] IMHO, ZIP encryption should be implemented as extention of current ZIP API because encryption/decryption will process for each ZIP entries. According to Developers' Guide, guideline for adding new API is TBD. [2] What should I do next?
