The communication method in which both parties could modify certain types of shared resources without attracting the attention of other users was called covert communication. As a detrusted, traceable and tamper-resistant distributed data sharing technology platform, blockchain and related technologies have been explored to build hidden communication with the expansion of relevant fields. The feasibility of this direction has been proved through research in recent years. The related concepts and technology classification of covert communication technology were introduced, and then the blockchain covert channel was divided into block-based structure, external carrier, business operation time and system mechanism based on the existing research. Various technical characteristics were sorted out in detail, and corresponding detection methods were introduced for various types of covert channel. Finally, the future development trend of the hidden communication and detection method of blockchain were explored, which could provide certain reference value for relevant research.
