The PEA format is an archive and encryption file type created by Giorgio Tani as part of the PeaZip open-source utility project. It is primarily utilized for secure data storage, providing a dedicated framework for authenticated encryption and integrity checking of bundled files. Although the format emphasizes security by default, it remains a niche standard when compared to more widely adopted archiving alternatives such as ZIP or 7Z.
