File Extension CIP

File type: Encrypted File

The CIP file type is primarily associated with 'CryptoBuddy' by Research Triangle Software. CryptoBuddy supplies encryption and decryption services for any designated computer file. The compression/decompression processes eliminate redundant and/or repeating plaintext characters to frustrate cryptanalysis by removing any character patterns from the ciphertext stream. The use of cipher block chaining further reduces any residual patterns developing in the stream. Once the file is compressed, an encryption routine, based on the Blowfish algorithm, is run to perform the encryption. The .CIP file is an encrypted file container that holds a single encrypted file.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open CIP files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
