Is there a way to encrypt/decrypt using Bouncy Castle without using compression

I’m looking for a way to encrypt/decrypt files/byte arrays without calling compression of input. To be more precises don’t want to use something like

ByteArrayOutputStream bOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PGPCompressedDataGenerator comData = new PGPCompressedDataGenerator(algorithm);
PGPUtil.writeFileToLiteralData(comData.open(bOut), PGPLiteralData.BINARY, new File(fileName));

Any reference, code sample is more than welecome, Thanks.

Answer

You avoid adding compression in PGP by simply not adding the code that does it. For your question to be sensible, I would expect you to post an example that has signing/encryption + compression, then we could suggest how to remove the compression bits.

Actually the simplest way for you might be to just set “uncompressed” like this:

new PGPCompressedDataGenerator(algorithm, CompressionAlgorithmTags.UNCOMPRESSED)
