Animal Mimicry in Covert Underwater Communication: Application of Syntax Generation and Simulated Genome Method

The paper proposes a covert underwater communication method based upon low-level genetic simulation and evolutionary syntax generation. The covertness is achieved through a LPD (low probability of detection) principle based upon the mimicry of aquatic animal communication - the message is concealed as a vocal exchange between members of on aquatic species. The non-deterministic method generates polymorphic signals consistent with animal vocalisation syntax structure, which makes the probability of a third party identifying them as covert communication low. The non-determinism and polymorphism is achieved through the use of both a novel method based upon low-level genetic simulation, and a scheme for generating syntax rules. Since the method's principles of action are based upon genetics at the molecular level, the scheme's promised benefits are akin to those offered by real-life genetics, namely robustness, compactness, and evolvability.
