Abstract

In this paper the use of Internet Protocol ver.6 packets to convey hidden information is exploited. The possibility to hide information in commonly used data transport mechanisms allows one to send extra information in a transparent way. The hidden message does not affect the routing mechanism neither interferes with the security mechanisms implemented on IP based networks, as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, authentication tools.
