What is the "Encrypt File Names" Option?
If you set the "Encrypt file names" option, WinRAR will not only encrypt the file data, but all other sensitive archive areas like file names, sizes, attributes, comments and other blocks. This provides a higher level of security.
If you want to prevent third parties from drawing conclusions about the content of the archives based on the meta files, you should enable this function. Without entering the correct password, it is impossible to even view the list of files that have been encrypted.
