    7-zip could not decrypt the zip file encrypted by SecureZip with password and contigency key(Encryption method: Recipient List or Passphrase). some companies will add contigency key to recover the zip file when there is a audit issue. Any plan to support it(Encryption method: Recipient List or Passphrase)?

    I don't know details about that method.
    You can create some small example of such archive for me.
    And I'll look it more.

    Note that 7-Zip doesn't support some Pkware's "Strong" encryption methods. There is no open and detailed specification for some of these pkware's methods. So it's very difficult to support them.

      FYI
      Here is the data-sheet of SecureZIP http://www.pkware.com/software/securezip/server/data-sheet
      ====================================
      Access encrypted files for audit and recovery purposes with contingency key*Files that have been encrypted must remain accessible to the organization. When files have been encrypted with PKI and/or passphrases, SecureZIP’s contingency key capabilities ensure that encrypted data is accessible for audit or data recovery purposes.
      ====================================

      I uploaded Test.zip(password=Zipreader123) and the screen dump for reference.
