Another peanut gallery contribution: for anyone who can reach behind IEEE paywalls, http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/COMST.2007.4317620 might be interesting reading -- "A survey of covert channels and countermeasures in computer network protocols", published in 2007. (I'm a lesser co-author of this one, so I may be overestimating the paper's utility ;) )
