Naturally, this is from the outside looking in and with limited details, there may be reasons you are going down the route you have started on. In this model you are now needing to maintain passwords for each business area (I am assuming here that you are not standardizing passwords across all the 'secure' areas) and once the files are out in the wild are subject to being brute forced since you are allowing access to all the files and relying on the password(s) to protect them. I would however recommend that you start over and rethink on your storage/delivery mechanism to determine a more scaleable and secure method.

Prefer a mode where you dont persist the password to a field. This allows for callers to change from Aes256 to whatever algorithm replaces Aes256 in the future without creating compatibility/tool-interop concerns. ![]() You may be using the wrong tool for the job. For creating new encrypted ZIP files you probably want to accept an encryption algorithm/mode value.
