Lzw Compression

LZW compression is a lossless data compression algorithm that replaces repeated patterns in data with a reference to a dictionary entry, reducing the size of the data. In the context of security, LZW compression is relevant as it can be used to minimize the amount of data being transmitted or stored, making it a useful technique for optimizing data transfer and storage in secure systems, while also being vulnerable to certain types of attacks if not implemented correctly.
