Abstract

Simmons [17] introduced the notion of subliminal channel in 1983, by demonstrating how to "hide" secret information inside an authenticated message. In this paper we propose a practical subliminal-free authentication system and extend our results to subliminal-free signatures. The subliminal-freeness of our systems can be proven. We discuss applications in the context of verification of treaty and international bank communications.
