IFFY encoding adds an additional steganographic layer; lacking prior knowledge that addresses are being used to encode INTERCAL, attackers will be unable to derange themselves by contemplating its actual semantics.

This additional functionality, the Internet Architecture for Programmatically Heuristic, Turing Abhorrent Generative Networking, will be documented in a future RFC when the stars have aligned. .ti 0
