Abstract
In this paper, two fault tolerant quantum steganography (QS) protocols over collective noise channels are proposed. One is against collective-dephasing noise, and the other is against collective-rotation noise. The logical Bell states (i.e., four-qubit DF states) are used to overcome these two kinds of collective noise. The quantum covert channel for distributing secret messages within the normal quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) channel is built up by swapping entanglement between two logical Bell states. Bell state measurements rather than four-qubit joint measurements are used for decoding. Moreover, the channel capacity is up to four bits per covert communication. Detailed analysis turns out that both the imperceptibility and the security can be guaranteed.
