Compression and Encryption: An Integrated Approach
Mukesh Sharma, Smiley Gandhi · 2012
This paper considers different aspects related to two different but not opposite direction-Data Compression and Cryptography. In this paper a brief review of both of these branches-compression and encryption, need of data compression and data encryption has been discussed. Also, the need of integrating these two branches has been addressed. There occurs a problem of the order of applying these two processes i.e.; Compression should be applied first before Encryption or Encryption should be applied first before compression. This paper discusses this issue of order also of these two processes.
