Abstract
A method including determining, by a transmitting device in communication with a receiving device, encrypted decoy messages based at least in part on encrypting decoy data utilizing an encryption key; determining, by the transmitting device, one or more encrypted content messages based at least in part on encrypting content data utilizing a cryptographic key, different from the encryption key; and transmitting, by the transmitting device to the receiving device, the one or more encrypted content messages among the encrypted decoy messages. Various other aspects are contemplated.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a transmitting device in communication with a receiving device, encrypted decoy messages based at least in part on encrypting decoy data utilizing a first scheme, the first scheme including encrypting a first random number of decoy messages utilizing a first encryption key and a first encryption algorithm, and encrypting a second random number of decoy messages utilizing a second encryption key and a second encryption algorithm, the second encryption key being different from the first encryption key;
- transmitting, by the transmitting device to the receiving device, an ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- determining, by the transmitting device, one or more encrypted content messages based at least in part on encrypting content data utilizing a cryptographic key, different from the first encryption key and the second encryption key;
- inserting, by the transmitting device, the one or more encrypted content messages in the ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- and
- continuing, by the transmitting device after inserting the one or more encrypted content messages, transmission of the ongoing sequence including the one or more encrypted content messages and the encrypted decoy messages.

A device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- determine, while in communication with a receiving device, encrypted decoy messages based at least in part on encrypting decoy data utilizing a first scheme, the first scheme including encrypting a first random number of decoy messages utilizing a first encryption key and a first encryption algorithm, and encrypting a second random number of decoy messages utilizing a second encryption key and a second encryption algorithm, the second encryption key being different from the first encryption key;
- transmit, to the receiving device, an ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- determine one or more encrypted content messages based at least in part on encrypting content data utilizing a cryptographic key, different from the first encryption key and the second encryption key;
- insert the one or more encrypted content messages in the ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- and
- continue, after inserting the one or more encrypted content messages, transmission of the ongoing sequence including the one or more encrypted content messages and the encrypted decoy messages.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a transmitting device, configure the processor to:
- determine, while in communication with a receiving device, encrypted decoy messages based at least in part on encrypting decoy data utilizing a first scheme, the first scheme including encrypting a first random number of decoy messages utilizing a first encryption key and a first encryption algorithm, and encrypting a second random number of decoy messages utilizing a second encryption key and a second encryption algorithm, the second encryption key being different from the first encryption key;
- transmit, to the receiving device, an ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- determine one or more encrypted content messages based at least in part on encrypting content data utilizing a cryptographic key, different from the first encryption key and the second encryption key;
- insert the one or more encrypted content messages among the encrypted decoy messages in the ongoing sequence of only the encrypted decoy messages;
- and
- continue, after inserting the one or more encrypted content messages, transmission of the ongoing sequence including the one or more encrypted content messages and the encrypted decoy messages.
