well, the only way to guard your fully guard your secrets is to have no secrets at all. A more realistic approach is to "poison" the situation. add enough noise to the truth. (examples: create fake addresses, fake relays, ... etc) but whatever you do, it's a "battle". (if you look at crime stories, you'll find that the hardest ones are those involving "inconsistent" criminals, that is, ones with a "variable" signature).
