Abstract

This paper reviews the problem of a secure data transfer in distributed computing networks. It analysis the most popular covert channels (the steganographic methods of communications) and introduces their classification. The article also presents a class of the most effective steganographic methods, describes its formal model and performs a security analysis based on the proposed model.
