    cbz files are not encrypted, they’re just zip files full of images with the xtension changed to “cbz”. Similarly, CBR files are the same thing, but using rar compression.

    If you are referring to zip “password protection”, then I guess that’s technically valid, although why anyone would rely on such trivially-cracked security is beyond me.
