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...

We examine and analyze the packet lengths of normal traffic to show that the methods can cope with traffic anomaly detection methods and do not introduce noticeable overhead.
