Compression does not change the total amount of entropy. It has the same entropy but in less bits, so you increase the density. The security should not depend on the entropy density. After the encryption you should not be able to tell what the density was. Kurt _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
