WinZip software versions 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 support the AES encryption method. AES has been adopted by NIST as Federal Information Processing Standard 197 (FIPS-197), and WinZip's implementation of the AES algorithm has been FIPS-197 certified by NIST. However, no version of WinZip software is currently FIPS 140-2 certified. No availability date for this certification can be forecast.
