Wow, what a trainwreck. So many comments in here talking about whether it would be possible to compress data which looks like uniformly random data, for all the tests you would throw at it. Spoiler alert, you can't compress encrypted data. This isn't a question of whether we know it's possible, rather, it's a fact that we know it's impossible. In fact, if you successfully compress data after encryption, then the only logical conclusion is that you've found a flaw in the encryption algorithm.
