encoded messages
Cryptic transmitted information
Encoded messages are communications transformed into a code or cipher to conceal their meaning from unintended recipients.
The encoding may be simple substitution, complex encryption, or any system where sender and receiver share the key: The spy passed encoded messages through the embassy.
The phrase also applies figuratively to indirect communication: Her compliments were encoded messages of disapproval.
