Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving covert message in wireless communication

Abstract

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for transmitting a covert message in wireless communication. The apparatus for transmitting a covert message in wireless communication may be configured to, in a covert message in which a data frame is composed of a Start Frame Delimiter (SFD), a header, a payload, and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), transmit the SFD of the covert message corresponding to a first sequence number masked with a preset SFD mask length, transmit the header of the covert message corresponding to a second sequence number masked with a preset header mask length, transmit the payload of the covert message corresponding to a third sequence number masked with a preset payload mask length, and transmit the CRC of the covert message corresponding to a fourth sequence number masked with a preset CRC mask length.
