- You are discussing the act of padding an encrypted text so, that there
- are no peaks in any statistic whatsoever. How about encrypt the whole text,
- analyze character-frequencies, and sequences of characters, and then pad
- the text in predefined places with characters that flatten the peaks or create
- wrong peaks in some sorts of statsistic you would like to apply ? As long as
- the opponent does not *know* you have added these pads, perhaps this will
- work ?
- Other ideas ?
