Data compression, in general, and Huffman encoding as a method, can be used in multiple areas: secure communication, image compression, music streaming, data storage optimization, and other areas. Do the following: Describe using the mathematical notation:  a) The problem/challenge of using it within;  b) how the use of the Huffman algorithm will address the problem/challenge;  c) the algorithm itself and all its steps in detail, as it applies to your context;   d) a complexity analysis, with the proof of computational time expected.
