7-zip and other applications allow you to “password-protected” a zip archive (using some encryption, usually AES.)
The zip erlang module unfortunately does not support this feature, as per the documentation:
The zip module supports zip archive versions up to 6.1. However, password-protection and Zip64 are not supported.
So I’m wondering what would be the best strategy to handle that:
- is there another erlang / elixir library that would handle this ?
- should I find the C library behind the zip exe (if opensource ?) and call it (woud ports be the right tool ?)
- should it be possible to create the
zipin erlang and encrypt it out of bound ? - or should I just give up on trying to do this with code, and assume a external client-line tool (
zip,7zip, etc…) is available to generate the file out of the application (usingSystem.cmd?)

Packages | Hex - seems like zstream has support?
phtrivier
I does seem to. I missed it on hex, thanks !
iamahmed
Try with zstream hex-package
warren
The zstream lib can not create multivolume archive, and if I want to create multivolume archive what lib/method should be use? thanks much!
For my scenario, I choose to execute external executable program (7zz for Linux environment) for create multivolume archive, the code like follow:
