Method of Embedding Hidden Data into a Message Stream with Noise-Immune Encoding

This article proposes a model of embedding steganographic data into a message stream using noise-immune coding. The embedded data is disguised as noise in the message transmission channel. Extraction of the embedded message is based on the procedure of detecting corrupted bits using error-correcting codes. The presented model is related to key schemes. The stability of the scheme is based on the impossibility for the analyst to obtain complete information about the embedding. The model is universal and can be implemented in any network protocol using noise-immune codes.
