Determines whether or not a zip archive is AES encrypted or password-protected. Objective-C

#import <CkoZip.h>

BOOL success = NO;

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

CkoZip *zip = [[CkoZip alloc] init];

//  An encrypted or password-protected zip can be opened
//  without specifying the password.  However, the contents
//  of the files cannot be unzipped without providing the correct
//  password.

success = [zip OpenZip: @"something.zip"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  If the zip is password-protected, meaning that it uses
//  the old (insecure) Zip 2.0 encryption, then the
//  PasswordProtect property will be true
BOOL bPwdProt = zip.PasswordProtect;
if (bPwdProt) {
    NSLog(@"%@",@"This zip is password-protected.");
}

//  If the zip is AES encrypted (WinZip compatible) then
//  the Encryption property will be equal to 4.
int encValue = [zip.Encryption intValue];
if (encValue == 4) {
    NSLog(@"%@",@"This zip is AES encrypted.");
}

//  If the Encryption property = 0, then the zip is NOT
//  strong encrypted, and is either password-protected or
//  entirely unencrypted, depending on the value of the
//  PasswordProtect property.
