- 7Z's AES256 encryption
- ZIP WinZip's AE encryption based on AES256 (and ZipCrypto for legacy compatibility); can decrypt PKZip's AES encryption
- FreeARC's ARC: AES256, Blowfish, Twofish256 and Serpent256 - this format is also capable to generate recovery records to protect data against corruption.
- PEA: AES256 EAX authenticated encryption
For archive creation, PeaZip supports a wide range of compression, which converting ordinary file to most powerful one which standard encryption system.It also provides way to export job definition as scripts, to easily work with GUI and Console apps, and lets you pick the best of both.

4. Universal Extractor 1.6.1
Universal Extractor is a program designed to decompress and extract files from any type of archive and also installer, such as ZIP or RAR files, self-extracting EXE files, application installers, etc. It is capable of support almost all file formats by utilizing the many backend utilities.
This application is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program. It will never replace WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc. What it will do is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, compression method, etc. The main motivation of this project was to create an easy, way to extract files from installation packages like self extracting exe files of Windows Installer packages, without pulling up interpreter every time. It has evolved into a mature and very capable unarchiving utility that many, including myself, find indispensable.
