Customer requested a task which could unzip and decrypt files from a ZIP archive. Not only does this project do that, but it also can encrypt and zip files. A 3rd party package, DotNetZip (package project url https://github.com/haf/DotNetZip.Semverd) was utilized, and the package was found through Visual Studio's package manager. Previous Zip task utilized .NET library's own ZIP utility, which doesn't support passwords.
