| This is how DAITA works: |
| 1. Constant Packet Sizes |
| The size of network packets can be particularly revealing, especially small packets, so DAITA makes all packets sent over the VPN the same constant size. |
| 2. Random Background Traffic |
| By unpredictably interspersing dummy packets into the traffic, DAITA masks the routine signals to and from your device. This makes it harder for observers to distinguish between meaningful activity and background noise. |
| 3. Data Pattern Distortion |
| When visiting websites (or doing any other activity that causes significant traffic), DAITA modifies the traffic pattern by unpredictably sending cover traffic in both directions between client and VPN server. This distorts the recognizable pattern of a website visit, resisting accurate identification of the site. |
