Abstract
Systems and methods of protecting data in a message for communication from a sender to a receiver, the sender and receiver sharing a secret including splitting the message into a number of ordered message blocks, the order being a proper order such that an aggregation of the blocks in the proper order constitutes the message; generating an encoded indication of a position of the block in the proper order of blocks, the encoding being reversible and based on at least a hash value for the block, a secret shared between the sender and the receiver, and a position of the block in the proper order; communicating the blocks and the encoded indications to the receiver, the blocks being communicated in an order different to the proper order so as to obfuscate the message, such that the blocks can be reassembled by the receiver in the proper order on the basis of the shared secret.
