1. A computer-implemented method for communicating using adaptive data compression, the method comprising:

  • determining whether an encrypted communications channel operating with a level of compression is operating below an operational threshold based on a capacity of the encrypted communications channel;

    decreasing the level of compression when the encrypted communications channel is operating below the operation threshold;

    compressing, in accordance with the level of compression, data packets to be transmitted over the encrypted communications channel;

    creating, when the encrypted communications channel is operating below the operational threshold, at least one padding data packet, wherein the data of the at least one padding data packet comprises padding data;

    encrypting the compressed data packets and the at least one padding data packet;

    transmitting, over the encrypted communications channel, the compressed and encrypted data packets to a destination; and

    transmitting, over the encrypted communications channel, the encrypted at least one padding data packet to the destination.
