-----------------------------------
> 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: 2.0.0
>
>
> 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
