Free Online Class on Network Information Hiding (and Patterns!)

My (Steffen's) online class on Network Information Hiding is now freely available on Github, including videos on Youtube. You can find it here.

Our book for free!

If you are an IEEE member, then you can now download our book Information Hiding in Communication Networks (Wiley-IEEE, 2016) for free (after signing in at IEEEXplore)! This book also includes fundamentals of hiding patterns in Chapter 3.

About this book: Describes Information Hiding in communication networks, and highlights their important issues, challenges, trends, and applications.

• Highlights development trends and potential future directions of Information Hiding
• Introduces a new classification and taxonomy for modern data hiding techniques
• Presents different types of network steganography mechanisms
• Introduces several example applications of information hiding in communication networks including some recent covert communication techniques in popular Internet services

New Sub-pattern PS11.c (Value Influencing Pattern)

We just added a reference to the new PS11.c Value Influencing Sub-pattern. The new sub-pattern was introduced by A. Velinov, A. Mileva, S. Wendzel and W. Mazurczyk in Covert Channels in MQTT-based Internet of Things, IEEE ACCESS, Vol. 7, pp. 161899-161915, 2019.

Btw. the final version of our paper on the detection of the Size Modulation pattern is now also available on-line: S. Wendzel, F. Link, D. Eller, W. Mazurczyk: Detection of Size Modulation Covert Channels Using Countermeasure Variation, Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS), Vol. 25(11), 2019.
