opportunity at finding non-random data, compression occurs before encryption, in the order:

compression → encryption →//→ decryption → decompression

Adding compression to an encrypted link increases line throughput. Once compression has been carried out there is less data requiring encryption, passing back to the base system, and transferring across the network, so less base system bus and network link bandwidth is required for a given amount of data. This results in the dual operation being very effective where encryption is required.
