Hmm, encrypting before compressing seems like a pretty strange decision. How does that happen?

I believe the literature says that compress before encrypt is less secure, because compression behaves predictably. See CRIME attacks.

But, why compress at all then? It won't do anything.

I'm not sure this is a good enough reason to never compress anything.

Maybe they encrypt with rot13. Compression should work on such a "ciphertext"...
