+### Customizing compression
+There were denial-of-service attacks reported on JWT libraries that supports deflate compression by constructing malicious payload that explodes in terms of RAM on decompression. See for details: #33
+
+As of v1.7.0 `jose2go` limits decompression buffer to 250Kb to limit memory consumption and additionaly provides a way to adjust the limit according to specific scenarios:
+
+```Go
+    // Override compression alg with new limits (10Kb example)
+    jose.RegisterJwc(RegisterJwc(NewDeflate(10240)))
+```
