You'd normally compress the data before encrypting it as that makes the resulting cyphertext more resilient against cryptanalysis as well as reduces the amount of data which needs to be encrypted so this sounds like a bogus reason.
- nubinetwork 2y agoIt depends on what you're doing I guess... for storage it doesn't make sense, but for pushing a lot of data over a private pipe, why spend the resources adding a cipher?
- jayd16 2y agoYou'd have to compress every single message separately and then encrypt them. That's still a far cry from being able to compress across every message.
- lxgr 2y agoThat doesn't allow you to deduplicate across users, though – which of course is the entire point, or the network would be able to see who's forwarding which documents.
