Abstract
Abstract One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method comprising receiving a plurality of data packets including encoded data. The method further comprises determining a plurality of time delays between the plurality of data packets, and translating the plurality of time delays to obtain a decoding key for decoding the encoded data in the data packets. The decoding key may be used to decode the encoded data to obtain the data.
