Package: openssl Version: 1.0.0g-1 Severity: normal Hi,
consider symmetric encryption with "openssl enc": $ openssl enc -bf -in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 -out GPL-3.enc enter bf-cbc encryption password: Verifying - enter bf-cbc encryption password: $ openssl enc -bf -in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 -out GPL-3.enc-z -z enter bf-cbc encryption password: Verifying - enter bf-cbc encryption password: $ gzip -c /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 > GPL-3.gz $ ls -l GPL-3* /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 -rw-r--r-- 1 rst rst 35168 Feb 9 15:39 GPL-3.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 rst rst 35189 Feb 9 15:39 GPL-3.enc-z -rw-r--r-- 1 rst rst 12143 Feb 9 15:40 GPL-3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35147 Jul 2 2007 /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 $ As you can see in the gzip compression case, the cleartext provides for quite some compression. But when enabling zlib compression for "openssl enc" via "-z", the resulting file is even bigger and it looks like there is no actual compression done at all.
