Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Currently, some traffic analysis technologies with packet capturing are being developed to observe the usage of the network, because of the rapid increase in the speed and amount of recent traffic.
For this reason, some low load methods are proposed.
These methods can analyze encrypted traffic without scanning the payload.
At the same time, these methods can be a threat to construct secure communication route by encryption.
We proposed a method and design of a tunneling application that hides packet's length and transmission intervals against the traffic analysis.
However, there is a characteristic that sent packet's number is different from received packet's number in this application.
Thus, the malicious third party can guess the traffic flows.
This report proposes a method to hide the traffic flows using dummy packets .
The results of verification experiment show its performance and the measurement of the communication efficiency.
