If we added it to SmartInspect (this is already on our feature request list), we would probably add this feature to the SmartInspect Router.

My files tend to get rather large quickly and it is becoming a nuisance to tell the customer to ZIP them first.

We do not provide an interface to change the algorithms for several reasons: - AES is the defacto standard algorithm for symmetric encryption and there aren't many reasons not to use it - Besides implementing an interface in all three libraries, we would also need to add a plugin system to the Console to allow loading of alternative encryption algorithms. This would be way to costly for such a simple feature We currently do not provide a way to use custom encryption algorithms, but you could always change the existing file protocol or better, copy and change it (it’s easier to update SmartInspect then).

However, will it be possible to use "custom" encryption algorithms or do you not provide any interfaces for that? This is really a very good feature.
