1. A scatter network device, comprising:
a non-transitory memory;
at least one processor; and
a key exchange application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the at least one processor:
generates a key exchange request encrypted according to a public encryption key of a first network endpoint, wherein the encrypted key exchange request is indistinguishable from uniform random noise;
transmits the key exchange request to the first network endpoint via a first communication band, wherein the first communication band is separate from a second communication band over which the scatter network device transmits authenticated messages;
responsive to transmitting the key exchange request, receive an encrypted key exchange response, wherein the encrypted key exchange response is indistinguishable from uniform random noise; and
decrypt the encrypted key exchange response according to a private encryption key of the scatter network device.
