The compression threshold indicates the minimum acceptable compression rate for files that are compressed before they are encrypted. You can specify this threshold globally for all files that are candidates for encryption, or selectively based on the compression attributes specified for each symmetric key. Use the MinimumCompressionRate attribute to specify this threshold.
The compression rate is the percentage of bytes removed from the original file by compression. If your original file contains 10,000 bytes and 4,000 bytes are removed by compression, the resulting compressed file contains 6,000 bytes. Your compression rate is 40 percent.
