Increase in files size?

[Frederico R. A. <dev...@gm...>]

 Hi. Another issue: I'm encrypting my files and they seem to have 
tripled the total size. Look at this:

My source directory:

ike:~/files> du -mcs
24833    total

ike:~/filesencrypted> du -mcs
78240    total
76424    files
1816    keys

I'm running the following command to encrypt:

rsyncrypto --delete -c -n /home/ugah/.ssh/filemap -r /home/ugah/files 
/home/ugah/filesencrypted/files /home/ugah/filesencrypted/keys 
/home/ugah/.ssh/backup.crt


Isn't is supposed to be smaller? I thought rsyncrypto also tried to 
compress files.

Greetings,
