Abstract

The purpose of this work is the demonstration of an adversary intrusion into protected computing system, when the covert channels are poorly taken into account. We consider an opportunity of overcoming the protection mechanisms placed between a protected segment of a local area network and a global network (for example, Internet). We discuss the ability for a warden to reveal the covert channels. The work is supported with the grant RFBR # 01-01-00895.
