Commercial codes contain innocuous words or phrases that only have meaning to someone holding a copy of the code. Otherwise, no way to assign meaning at all. And it works. It would take an extremely long run of monitored messages, correlating the activities on each side of the connection, to tease out the code. That's the long run, and we all know what happens in the long run.
