Abstract:
A method for operating at least one node connected to a shared communication medium reduces or eliminates the ability of an adversary node to identify the at least one node based on transient signal characteristics of a signal that the at least one node generates when transmitting a bit through the shared communication medium. The method includes adjusting, with a controller in a first node, an impedance of a variable impedance circuit in the first node to a first impedance level that the controller determines randomly, the variable impedance circuit in the first node being connected to an output of a transceiver in the first node and to a shared communication medium, and transmitting, with the transceiver, a first data bit through the shared communication medium with the variable impedance circuit producing the first impedance level.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 1  further comprising:\n adjusting, with a controller in a second node, an impedance of a variable impedance circuit in the second node to a second impedance level that the controller in the second node determines randomly, the variable impedance circuit in the second node being connected to an output of a transceiver in the second node and to the shared communication medium; and \n transmitting, with the transceiver in the second node, a second data bit through the shared communication medium with the variable impedance circuit producing the second impedance level, the transmitting of the second data bit occurring simultaneously to the transmission of the first data bit from the first node to prevent an adversary node that is connected to the shared communication medium from determining that the first node transmitted the first bit and the second node transmitted the second bit through the shared communication medium.
