What Does Traffic-Flow Security Mean?
Traffic-flow security is the use of various measures or methods to hide the presence of messages across a communicational medium, or to otherwise cloak messaging to prevent the observation of traffic levels across an IT infrastructure.The idea behind traffic-flow security is that even in highly protected systems, it might still be possible for outsiders to ascertain the amount of traffic over a system at any given time. The use of traffic-flow security tools makes it impossible for external observers to see whether traffic is changing in real time, or when any individual message goes from one location to another.
