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.
