Thanks for the figures James. This looks like a good case to make DEFLATE a standard option for all messages types. Vladimir -- Vladimir Dzhuvinov : www.NimbusDS.com : vladimir@nimbusds.com -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [jose] Allow compression of plain and JWS too? From: "Manger, James H" <James.H.Manger@team.telstra.com> Date: Thu, May 31, 2012 3:01 pm To: Vladimir Dzhuvinov / NimbusDS <vladimir@nimbusds.com>, "jose@ietf.org" <jose@ietf.org> > Is there a reason to have compression only with JWE? Compression should be available in signed and unprotected messages as well. Specifying the "zip" header element for signed JWsec messages (aka JWS) and unprotected JWsec messages (aka "alg":"none") would be a good approach. The DEFLATE algorithm does a really good job of almost eliminating the 33% overhead introduced by a base64url encoding. * DEFLATE(B64(random)) is only 1% longer than random * DEFLATE(B64(DEFLATE(text))) is less than 1% longer than DEFLATE(text) * DEFLATE(B64(text)) however is significantly longer than DEFLATE(text) -- James Manger
