Abstract :
Based on the structure of HTTP protocol, a real-time information hiding algorithm was proposed in this paper, to solve the problem that embedding a mass of data in the TCP/IP packet. The secret information is embedded in HTTP protocol header fields. It´s proved that the capacity of the algorithm is perfect by experiments, and more than 1000 bytes of data could be embedded in a HTTP request-packet (Get-packet), while the transparency is very well. At the same time, the information hidden will not affect on packets transmitting.
