comment Is a continuous stream of encrypted data embedded in garbage more or less secure than only encrypting the data?
Well, I spotted only the symptom while you removed the cause first and then wondered about the cough :-7 Anyway you're right that the garbage shouldn't be encoded, while the "correct" garbage might allow keeping actual data transmission times sufficiently secret

Thanks for your answer - re "How so?" I only thought of the implication of encrypting the garbage as well, leading to the KPA, instead of simply considering the smart way™ of just using random data of entropy comparable to the encrypted data... I.e. your reply to sending encrypted pseudo-random data already makes by KPA-statement superfluous.
