I'm considering using crypto++ in an on line alternative to serialization libraries that I'm working on -- http://webEbenezer.net.
Currently this program -- http://webEbenezer.net/build_integration.html uses bzip2 to compress data sent between users and our site. I hope to also add encryption to the processing. I don't know much about encryption, though and am wondering how to figure out (narrow down) what classes to use from crypto++. I've read that generally compression is done first and then encryption. Does that match your experience? I ran cryptest e inputfile outputfile The input file was 133 bytes and the output file was 176 bytes. Does encryption usually iincrease the number of bytes like that? I haven't tried it yet with a larger file to see if the increase is proportional to the size of the file or not. Thanks in advance.
