Methods and systems are disclosed for adaptive compression is disclosed. The compression is adaptive based on one or more criteria related to the system, including but not limited to: the centralized authority, one or more remote devices, the communication channel, and/or the data communicated. For example, the compression may be adaptive based on one or more criteria related to the remote device, including dynamic and/or static criteria of the remote device. In this way, the adaptive compression may be reduce the amount of data transmitted from the remote device to the centralized authority, thereby conserving bandwidth.
