Should "compression" be "encryption"? In the context, I'm assuming so. If not, I can't find the code where elastic buffers are used in the compressor. Also, I'm assuming that while this is the model when using strong encryption: +----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | version | Encrypted data | | header | | +----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | +-----+---------------------------------------+------+----+ | | EEE | Compressed data | TTTT | EE | | | | | | | | +-----+---------------------------------------+------+----+ | | +------+--+...................+---------+ | | file |EA| | Catalog | | | data | | | | | +------+--+...................+---------+ ^ zero offset Is the following model used when scrambling is used instead of strong encryption? +----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | version | Encrypted data | | header | | +----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | +--------------------------------------------------+------+ | | Compressed data | TTTT | | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+------+ | | +------+--+...................+---------+ | | file |EA| | Catalog | | | data | | | | | +------+--+...................+---------+ ^ zero offset Thanks as always, Wesley -- Wesley Leggette <lists-+42/j/[email protected]> GPG Key: http://www.kaylix.net/kaylix.asc or http://pgp.mit.edu GPG Fingerprint: 9B6F 19FB 5296 5E6C 21FE 7614 2A20 5688 F848 9BDD
