Information hiding in internet protocol networks

Information hiding in internet protocol networks

In this thesis, we develop network information hiding methods which can be utilized to transmit external information between two network end-systems as stealthy as possible. Here, we propose three network information hiding methods namely, Packet Payload Byte Parity Based Steganography, Alternative...
