Introduce proprietary Compress-Transformation for Encryption / Decryption
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSS-386
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-386
Project: WSS4J
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Marc Giger
Assignee: Marc Giger
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0
Compressing encrypted content (as usually done on transport layer) is not very
efficient but plain XML is.
Numbers:
soap-doc-encrypted-not-compressed.xml = ~19M
soap-doc-compressed-on-transport.gz = ~ 15M
soap-doc-compressed-before-xml-encryption.xml = ~1.1M
The advantages are:
- Factor n less data on the wire
- Faster processing on both side because much less data must be
encrypted/decrypted (depends on encryption/compression algorithm)
Disadvantages:
- Proprietary
- Introduces new attack-vector and will be disabled by default for WSS with the
introduction of secure-processing
