Abstract

A covert channel is described as a communication link between two parties that allows one party to transfer information to the other in a manner that violates the system’s security policy. Covert channels are categorized into covert storage channels and covert timing channels. Communication in a covert storage channel entails the writing of hidden data into a storage location (not meant for communication) by the transmitting party, and the subsequent retrieval of that information by the receiving party. In difference, communication in a covert timing channel requires that the transmitting party signal information by modulating its own system resources such that the manipulation affects the response time observed by the receiving party. The problem statement for this project are data sent over the network could be attack by third party and the confidentialiy and integrity of data are not guaranteed while being transmitted in the network. This project embarks on the following objectives are; To study in-depth of covert channel and to identify parameter that will used in developing covert channel system, to develop a robust covert channel system to increase integrity and confidentiality of data, and to test and verify the system through network. While the methodology being used to develop the project by using iterative model. The development contribution of the project helps to determine what the project will produce beside its objective. Besides, it will help to determine the parameter that will be used to develop the covert channel. Also, it will helps to determine the procedure involve in developing the system and if the system will achieve the objective of the project which is to develop a robust covert channel system.
