Add mitigation against BREACH
While BREACH requires the following three factors to be effectively exploitable we should add another mitigation:
1. Application must support HTTP compression
2. Response most reflect user-controlled input
3. Response should contain sensitive data
Especially part 2 is with ownCloud not really given since user-input is usually only echoed if a CSRF token has been passed.
To reduce the risk even further it is however sensible to encrypt the CSRF token with a shared secret. Since this will change on every request an attack such as BREACH is not feasible anymore against the CSRF token at least.
