What better way than to generate real pgp messages that encrypt noise files?
Just generate pseudorandom binary data of pseudorandom length (biased
toward the length of real messages), and encrypt with pgp, using the
public key of some person's key from a public server, selected at
random. If you want to be able to spend less cpu time, you could hack a
copy of pgp to simulate doing this, of course, using the symmetric key
cipher (idea) in a stream cipher mode.
Peace to you.
