Abstract: ABSTRACT A system (102) for behaviour-adaptive steganographic covert communication comprises a behaviour model builder (104), a feedback controller (108), and a hardware processor (112). The behaviour model builder (104) constructs a behaviour model (106) representing behavioural norms of a communication environment from network traffic parameters and host activity parameters observed at a sender side. The feedback controller (108) receives communication outcome indicators (110) as detection-risk signals and updates embedding parameters of an embedding plan accordingly. The hardware processor (112) determines the embedding plan by jointly applying content-level imperceptibility requirements and the behavioural norms of the behaviour model (106) as dual constraints. The hardware processor (112) selects a cover medium (114) conforming to the behavioural norms, embeds secret data into the cover medium (114) to generate a stego medium (116), and switches an active embedding channel based on a behavioural feasibility score derived from the behaviour model (106).
