We don't have any plans to support passworded zips, see https://github.com/Stuk/jszip/issues/8

@dduponchel do you have inclination to do anything about this? I have a feeling encryption in the browser will still be too slow, and don't really feel like getting into the encryption game with this library.

I think that with encryption, you either know exactly what you're doing (and get it right on the first try) or don't do it. And I'm clearly not an expert on this topic :-)
The scope of password protected zip also seems quite large : the old zip 2.0 encryption (with known attacks), the PKWARE Strong Encryption (covered by a patent) and the Winzip AES Encryption.

Agreed. I also didn't realize there were a number of zip encryption schemes!

I'm going to close this as we won't be adding support. A suitable pull request would definitely be considered though.

Hi, I add some Aes en/decryption code, please see at #696
