- attached passwords.diff
Here's a patch that adds a parameter, with support for passing password directly within parameter, passing via mount options, and passing via stdin. Works for both read and write, and uses AES-256.
For my reference, here's how the password parameter flows through the code: main --> initFuseZip --> new FuseZipData (stores it in FuseZipData) --> (ref to FuseZipData ends up going to "fuse_setup" as data) ... fusezip_destroy (with reference to FuseZipData) --> FuseZipData::save -> FileNode::save --> saveToZip

Unfortunately zip archive can contain files encrypted with a different passwords. So fuse-zip need to interact with user or password agent (like GNOME keyring or KWallet) to request passwords on demand.
-
That is possible, but unlikely, and controllable if the user is the one who makes the archives.
The behavior right now is to give a generic filesystem error whenever accessing a passworded file. So in the worst case, if the given password doesn’t match it will fall back to what is happening already.
I think my patch is a whole lot better than nothing, and I’m currently actively using it with great success. It allows using zip files as cross-platform managers for passwords and other sensitive information.

Hi @Chris Graham can you please share the passwords.diff file ?

I don’t know why that attachment broke, but anyway I’m maintaining a soft fork here: https://gitlab.com/occhris/fuse-zip

``` Currently fuse-zip does not supports encrypted zipfiles.
Issue 22 created to track -V switch absence. ```
