--- Comment #1 from 2wxsy5823...@opayq.com ---
This bug's original title is not really accurate because if the ZIP file's
header (central directory) is not encrypted, then Ark will and should open the
archive to display the file list. The user will be prompted to enter the
password when an encrypted file is extracted.

For more details on ZIP's header encryption, I think you can read Section 7.1.8
in the APPNOTE.txt by PKWARE.

Ark uses external programs through plugins to create archives, and apparently
no ZIP plugin supports header encryption - see Bug 253694 Comment 11.

If you would like to have header encryption in ZIP, I think you have to add
such support in upstream programs, such as libzip.
