Hello you all,

Sorry for the noise, but I'm currently planning
a brief explanation of SSL/TLS for my Master
cryto course and I have a very specific question
to ask you, as I don't want to say anything
wrong.

I know that OpenSSL implements data compression,
and I figure it's done before any cryptographic
operation (compressing mostly noise leads to
almost nothing).

My question is : does compression occurs before
MAC is computed or later on both data-chunks
and their MAC ?

I'l try to find some time to go to the sources,
but having this answered quickly would save me
a lot of time.

Again, sorry for the noise and thank you for
your time,

Sincerly,

François
