Abstract

A method of embedding a covert audio message in a cover utterance for secure communication is presented. The covert message is represented in a compressed form with possibly encryption and/or encoding for added security. One bit in each of the samples of a given cover utterance is altered in accordance with the data bits and a key. The same key is used to retrieve the embedded bits at the receiver. The results, based on cover signals from a clean TIMIT utterance and a noisy aircraft cockpit utterance, show that the technique meets several major criteria for successful covert communication.
