Steganography in OFDM Symbols of Fast IEEE 802.11n Networks

This paper presents a proposal of covert steganographic channels in high-speed IEEE 802.11n networks. The method is based on the modification of cyclic prefixes in OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) symbols. This proposal provides the highest hidden transmission known in the state of the art. This paper includes theoretical analysis and simulation results of the presented steganographic system performance. The simulation performance was compared with other known approaches in the literature.
