Any noise strong enough to have a good chance of hiding the signal would completely defeat the benefit of having dynamic frequency scaling in the first place, I think.

What if you discretized the allowed frequencies and linked the rate at which the cpu could switch?
Except that the processor can be doing other work during artificially induced noise delays, something not possible with delays introduced by lower mean frequency.
An additional millisecond to your public key exchange is probably not going to matter - key exchange is pretty infrequent anyway.
