Chaotic evil is encrypting, compressing, then encrypting again.
Then decompress after. Let fear be your cypher.
When playing football, to keep the socks from riding down our legs, we used to put loose rubber bands on top of them, near the top of the sock. Then to avoid the rubberbands from riding up above the sockline, we used to fold the sock over the rubberbands downwards. Then to avoid the fold from being undone during play another rubberband had to be put on top of the folded part.
Sounds similar to this. Just thought it was notable.
Anyone willing to drop some learning on a lay person? Is encrypted data less compressable because it lacks the patterns compression relies on?
Or, is it less secure to encrypt first because smart people things? I know enough about cryptography to know I know fuck all about cryptography.
