Reply to comment by ImmoralityPet in A group of researchers has achieved a breakthrough in secure communications by developing an algorithm that conceals sensitive information so effectively that it is impossible to detect that anything has been hidden by thebelsnickle1991

Yea. So match the signal to that of a local star or some other natural phenomenon.

The point is - if this is impossible which it may be. Long communication in a hostile galaxy may be impossible. If it is possible an explanation for not detecting signals is they are hidden and undetectable.

I love that you went right to space travel. I don't think this is applicable but I like where your mind is at

Like I said - its a big deal.

If it is actually hard undetectable, this is how we're going to do it. That's pretty cool.
