A Covert Channel Based on Web Read-time Modulation
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
Other Versions
A network covert channel is created that operates by modulating the time between web resource accesses, with an 'average web user' read-time used as a reference. ...
The channel is thus immune to methods typically used to detect timing based network covert channels. ...
A COVERT CHANNEL BASED ON WEB PAGE READ-TIME Our transmitter communicates its message by altering web read-time, with degree of deviation from a pseudo-randomized and shared (between the transmitter and ...

A network covert channel is created that uses resource names such as addresses to convey information, and that approximates typical user behavior in order to blend in with its environment. ...
The channel correlates available resource names with a user defined code-space, and transmits its covert message by selectively accessing resources associated with the message codes. ...
Transaction level timing is highly dependent on resource content and on the subjective user. ...
