Shang-Yu Chou
Logo M.S. Student @ National Taiwan University

I am a first-year Master student in Computer Science at National Taiwan University. My passion for CS and mathematics was ignited through independent software development projects, which ultimately inspired my self-motivated career transition from dentistry to computer science.

My research focuses on Algorithmic Machine Learning, Convex Optimization, and Spectral Graph Theory, with current emphasis on efficient algorithms for large-scale optimization and graph neural networks.

I have published research in network steganography and possess strong mathematical intuition and theoretical foundations. I am actively seeking summer research internships in algorithmic ML and optimization.

The Obfuscated Network Steganography

Da-Chih Lin, Shang-Yu Chou

IEEE AccessIn Press. 2025

Network header steganography hides data in network headers instead of payloads. Traditional single-channel methods are vulnerable to statistical detection like chi-square tests. We present an enhanced algorithm using BCH code redundant bits to evade detection. A Peterson-Gorenstein-Zierler decoder recovers the data reliably. Our method achieves 80% higher security than existing techniques, significantly improving covert communication in network systems.
