The problems of indexing, etc., that apply to data compression (such
as Hammond coding) also apply to encryption. If you are going to
encrypt the data anyway, using data compression techniques before
encryption incurs little cost over encryption alone, saves space, and
may make unwanted decryption by others more difficult.
