Could you help me again?
I have read that in Unix's crypt,
let me put it this way
the "book" suggested that
One solution for the weakness of crypt
is, first compress the plaintext then run crypt on the
compressed data
moreover it said that compressed data looks like random noise (so it
would be very hard to decipher)
My question is this,
In case the ciphertext is deciphered, the "decipheree" will not know
what compression scheme the "encipheree" used? what if he uses many
decompression softwares, could he still get the plaintext ?
Thank you.
