actual usage pattern? If I am sending and receiving an encrypted one-time
pad-randomized 1 kb/s 24/7, I can send and receive an arbitrary number of
text messages without an adversary being able to determine when or what I
send to or from whom, unless they have the one time pad and full access to
the stream of data and access to the nodes routing my data stream, or they
have hardware access on my end (i.e. they own me anyway).
