   In other words, the "don't worry PPP will make you happy" answer is
   not considered sufficient?

Well, it won't make you happy (unless all you want is a

Any encryption algorithm which generates output which is compressible
should be considered highly suspect.

You need to compress before you encrypt (and decompress after you
decrypt).
