A method of transmitting a covert message over a network from an origin device to a destination device includes using selection a plurality of network paths, network channels, and network tunnels to signal to the destination device symbols. Sequences of the symbols are interpreted by the destination device as values in an n-base number system. The values are decoded by the destination device to obtain the covert message. Some preferred implementations use a binary number system and some use a hexadecimal number system. Some utilize network path selection and incorporate network watermarks, by which the network path that was selected for each received packet is determined. Network paths preferably are differentiated from one another by redirects that are storage servers in an overlay network. Network communications can be opened between the origin device and destination device for continuously communicating packets without signaling symbols when no covert message is being transmitted.
A method of transmitting, over a plurality of different network paths, an encoded message from a first networked electronic device to a second networked electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
