In conjunction with the weak transmission power inherent in backscatter ra- dio systems, this work exploits FM ambient backscatter to achieve covert communication. Information in the form of plain text is converted to a wide- band audio signal using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modula- tion, resulting in a noise-like audio signal undergoing Frequency Modulation (FM) before being backscattered to a conventional smart phone equipped with FM radio, acting as the receiver. A Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR), provided with a key completely determining its output, generates the symbol sequences that serve as spreading sequences in DSSS, thus adding a Private-Key Encryption layer to enhance the cryptosystem's robustness. A Repetition Code is utilized as a way of error correction to increase the per- formance. Besides simulations, a prototype was implemented to verify the feasibility of the proposed concept.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης::Σχολή Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Μηχανικών ΥπολογιστώνTopalis_Athanasios_Dip_2019.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2019-09-09application/pdf11.4 MBfree Topalis Athanasios Τοπαλης Αθανασιος Bletsas Aggelos Μπλετσας Αγγελος Karystinos Georgios Καρυστινος Γεωργιος Lagoudakis Michail Λαγουδακης Μιχαηλ Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης Technical University of Crete Steganography Backscatter radio Audio Security
