“…Selection techniques for network covert storage channels were already presented in the past. For instance, Li et al developed an approach that uses the concept of natural selection to determine suitable network protocols which can be used for a covert communication [10] and Yarochkin et al presented similar work to evaluate utilizable network protocols based on passive network monitoring [24].…”

Within the last years, new techniques for network covert channels arose, such as covert channel overlay networking, protocol switching covert channels, and adaptive covert channels. These techniques have in common that they rely on covert channel-internal control protocols (so called micro protocols) placed within the hidden bits of a covert channel's payload. An adaptable approach for the engineering of such micro protocols is not available. This paper introduces a protocol engineering technique for micro protocols. We present a twolayer system comprising six steps to create a micro protocol design. The approach tries to combine different goals: (1) simplicity, (2) ensuring a standard-conform behaviour of the underlying protocol if the micro protocol is used within a binary protocol header, as well as we provide an optimization technique to (3) raise as little attention as possible. We apply a context-free and regular grammar to analyze the micro protocol's behavior within the context of the underlying network protocol.

“…Using micro protocols, covert channel systems can build hidden overlay networks [23], and can adapt to changes in the underlay network (e.g. changing firewall rules) [10,24]. Up to now, micro protocols were designed in an ad hoc manner.…”

“…The timing method can encode the secret information by changing the sending rate of packet [44,45,46,47], interpacket delay [48,49,50,51], and changing the order of packet [52,53,54,55], etc.…”

Abstract. Both audio steganography and network steganography are belong to modern steganography. Audio steganography has a large capacity. Network steganography is difficult to detect or track. In this paper, a multi-layer steganographic method based on the collaboration of them (MLS-ATDSS&NS) is proposed. MLS-ATDSS&NS is realized in two covert layers (audio steganography layer and network steganography layer) by two steps. A new audio time domain segmented steganography (ATDSS) method is proposed in step 1, and the collaboration method of ATDSS and NS is proposed in step 2. The experimental results showed that the advantage of MLS-ATDSS&NS over others is better tradeoff between capacity, anti-detectability and robustness, that means higher steganographic capacity, better anti-detectability and stronger robustness.
