“…Abdulaziz et al [55] put forward a secure and anonymous decentralized messaging application which can be divided into two phases. One is the temporary Topic and key distribution phase in which Whisper is used to transmit asymmetrically encrypted messages consisting of a random symmetric key for message processing and temporary Topic for message clarification.…”

Covert communication is designed for hiding the subliminal communication which takes place between both of the speakers and their relationship. The traditional covert communication utilizes the centralized channel and the third-party central node or authority to distribute messages which leads to a lack of undetectability, antitraceability, and robustness. In recent years, there have been attempts to apply the blockchain to covert communication solutions, for the characteristics of blockchain such as decentralization, openness, and trustworthiness. In this paper, based on the analysis of the literature and the classification according to the hiding position, we identify four kinds of covert communication: Address Channel, Value Channel, DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) Channel, and Script Channel, which will help inform future research agenda.

“…As a secure communication protocol in Ethereum, whisper has great potential for secure communication model design. Abdulaziz et al 39 created a decentralized messaging application utilizing the Ethereum whisper protocol to send encrypted messages both securely and anonymously. This application would be resistant to most suppression tactics due to its distributed nature and adaptability of its communication protocol.…”
