Sure. But I'm not suggesting the kind of random padding
that was under discussion then.

My suggestion was to pad to a multiple of 32 octets and
with a random addition of 0,1,2... or more 32 octet blocks
of zeros. Yes, some work would be needed to pick the right
block size (32 might be a little small maybe) and to pick
a (non-uniform) distribution from which to randomly select
how many additional blocks to send.

But like I said, I'm sure there're lots of different
algorithms that could work for this, and whichever we
picked would need some checking vs. reality of course.

Cheers,
S.
