摘要

Methods, devices, and systems for communicating market data with market participants involve obfuscating at least a portion of a first financial message. Communicating the market data also involves augmenting a second financial message with a key configured to remove the obfuscation from the obfuscated portion of the first financial message. The market data is ultimately communicated by transmitting the first financial message to a particular participant, and transmitting the second message to a plurality of participants. The particular participant may then use the key from the second financial message to remove the obfuscation of the first financial message.
