<br>
<a name="hide_content_of_archive"></a>Under some
circumstances, when <a href="encrypt-files.html">protecting archive
files with encryption</a>, it can be recommended to encrypt the list of
files
featured inside an archive to hide it from unauthorized users, in order
to disallow showing list of archive content before providing password,
otherwise, even if the file data itself is encrypted, readable
filenames can leak hints to attackers about the nature of the archive.<br>

<h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><big>How to encrypt

<br>
<a name="password_for_listing_archive"></a>To prevent this
kind of information leak and make archive
table of content (TOC) unreadable without knowing the password,
disabling listing of the archive when the user will try to <a
href="extract-encrypted-files.html">open the encrypted archive file</a>,
it is possible to set a password for listing archive content.<br>
Click
on the
padlock icon to
set a <span style="font-weight: bold;">password </span>(and
optionally
a keyfile) for the archive
and check "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Encrypt also file names</span>"
option in the password dialog.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Browse archives with
hidden file list</span><br>
This will require the correct password to be provided opening the
archive, before being able to show name of files in archives.<br>
The padlock icon to set password for archive / filenames in archive,
can be found in the status bar, in the file/archive
browser, or below the output field in the archive creation interface<br>

<h3 style="font-weight: bold;"><big>What formats support
hiding names of files in archive</big></h3>
<br>
<a name="prevent_listing_of_archives"></a>Encryption in
standards employed by PeaZip supports in different ways the encryption
of
file content:<br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">ZIP </span>and <span
style="font-weight: bold;">ZIPX</span> formats
lack this feature, meaning this setting will have no effect, and
archive
TOC will always be readable before providing the correct password even
if the data is encrypted</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">7Z</span>, <span
style="font-weight: bold;">ARC</span>, and <span
style="font-weight: bold;">RAR</span> formats support encryption of
filenames in archive, so if this option is in use the archive content
will be
hidden unless correct password is provided for browsing it</li>
<ul>
<li>in order to create encrypted RAR files with PeaZip
WinRar must be installed in the system, autonomous write-support for
rar format is not possible due to rar licensing limitations<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">PEA</span> and <span
style="font-weight: bold;">ZPAQ </span>format,
by design, will never display content of an encrypted archive until
correct password is provided, and no option is provided to otherwise
allow listing of password-protected files. Using those archive formats,
providing encryption is in applied, name of files in archive will
always stay hidden until password is verified.<br>
