In this study, we propose a novel keyed hash algorithm based on a Boolean function and chaotic attractor. The hash algorithm called BentSign is based on two Signature attractors and XOR function and a bent Boolean function. The provided theoretical and experimental results confirm that the novel scheme can generate output hashes with a good level of security, collision resistance, and protection against...
We present a new hash function based on irregularly decimated chaotic map, in this article. The hash algorithm called SHAH is based on two Tinkerbell maps filtered with irregular decimation rule. We evaluated the novel function using distribution analysis, sensitivity analysis, static analysis of diffusion, static analysis of confusion, and collision analysis. The experimental data show that SHAH...
In this paper a new method for information hiding in open social networks is introduced. The method, called StegHash, is based on the use of hashtags in various open social networks to connect multimedia files (like images, movies, songs) with embedded hidden messages. The evaluation of the system was performed on two social media services (Twitter and Instagram) with a simple environment as a proof...
This article presents a new method for detecting a source point of time based network steganography - MoveSteg. A steganography carrier could be an example of multimedia stream made with packets. These packets are then delayed intentionally to send hidden information using time based steganography methods. The presented analysis describes a method that allows finding the source of steganography stream...
This paper summarizes the experience and the learning outcomes of students of the "Informatics" specialty at the Episkop Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen (Bulgaria) on the problems of computer and network security as a component of their professional training. It is a continuous process starting from the "Computer steganography" course and turning into diploma papers,...
This paper presents possibility of using of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocol for creating a simplex communication channel between a malware-infected computer with a compromised DNS server. The proposed channel can be used to steal data or confidential enterprise information secretly.
This paper presents a new steganographic method called WiPad (Wireless Padding). It is based on the insertion of hidden data into the padding of frames at the physical layer of WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks). A performance analysis based on a Markov model, previously introduced and validated by the authors in, is provided for the method in relation to the IEEE 802.11 a/g standards . Its results...
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol that is due to replace TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocols in future IP networks. Currently, it is implemented in such operating systems like BSD, Linux, HP-UX or Sun Solaris. It is also supported in Cisco network devices operating system (Cisco IOS) and may be used in Windows....
This paper presents experimental results of the implementation of network steganography method called RSTEG (Retransmission Steganography). The main idea of RSTEG is to not acknowledge a successfully received packet to intentionally invoke retransmission. The retransmitted packet carries a steganogram instead of user data in the payload field. RSTEG can be applied to many network protocols that utilize...
The anonymity of steganography might be good for privacy, but it also multiplies the threats to individuals, societies, and states. The trade-off between the benefits and threats involves many complex ethical, legal, and technological issues. We'll leave them for other thinkers and other articles. What we're trying to do is understand what kind of potential contemporary communication networks have...
This paper identifies new class of network steganography methods that utilize mechanisms for handling oversized IP packets: IP fragmentation, PMTUD (path MTU discovery) and PLPMTUD (packetization layer path MTU discovery). In particular, for these mechanisms we propose two new steganographic methods and three extensions of existing ones. We present how mentioned mechanisms can be used to enable hidden...
The paper presents an analysis of performance features of the HICCUPS (hidden communication system for corrupted networks) including the efficiency and the cost of the system in WLANs (wireless local area networks). The analysis relies on the original CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) 802.11 Markov chain-based model and proves that the HICCUPS is the efficient steganographic...
