gollark: I was thinking more like that WiFi covert channel thing where they flip the phase of something something carrier signal, using firmware hax on mobile phone WiFi hardware.
gollark: Alternatively, encrypted traffic could be disguised as noise or covertly encoded into unencrypted GEORGEnet data, for purposes.
gollark: It is a shame that we can't place arbitrary microwave-reflective objects in arbitrary locations above Earth, or GEORGEnet would be able to work better.
gollark: Which is something, for APIONET traffic.
gollark: Also, even if we can't encrypt packets, we *can* sign them for authenticity.
