Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for disruption of retrospective decryption operations. A harvested file may include an embedded protocol initiated when the file is transferred. The protocol may involve increasing the size of the harvested file, decreasing processing speed to a level below a predetermined threshold, and increasing energy use to a level above a predetermined threshold. The protocol may initiate changes that result in a detectable pattern of energy use and network activity. A monitoring network associated with the home system may detect a pattern of energy use and network activity corresponding to the harvested file. The monitoring network may generate a beacon comprising a location associated with the detected energy use and network activity, transmit an alert including the location, and isolate a home server within a home system.
