Abstract:
As the internet evolves and computer networks
become bigger and bigger, network security is one of
the most challenging issues in today's world that
touches many areas using network communication.
Nowadays, there is a need for mobility, therefore new
protocols were designed to support the mobility and
multihoming facilities. Since SCTP is designed for
telecommunication, its native design does not
consider the security issues for data transmission. In
this paper, an efficient secure network
steganographic approach that is able to send,
receive, detect and recover encrypted messages
hidden in the Initiate Tag of Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) will be proposed. The
main aim of the proposed work is to hide and protect
secret data inside user’s normal data transmissions
without destroying by third parties. Finally, the
efficiency of this proposed approach will be
compared to other known steganographic tools.
