ABSTRACT:
A development system providing a method for information hiding in executable programs is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method of the present invention is described for hiding information in computer programs, the method comprises steps of: receiving first input comprising program modules for a computer program being created, the program modules including data and code; receiving second input comprising information to be hidden in the computer program; linking together the program modules to form an executable computer program, including determining pads necessary for aligning data and code; and hiding the second input in the executable computer program by storing portions of the second input at locations in the executable computer program intended for pads.
