This course will be a survey course for covert channels and information leakage (side channel) with hands-on investigations into building and defeating covert channels. We will begin with the long history of covert channels dating back to the 1970’s up to the present and beyond by looking at current research in this area. We will explore both storage and timing covert channels and information leakage from general purpose computers, mobile devices, and modern industrial control system devices. It is necessary to be able to write code in at least 1 language (python is preferred), be familiar with computer networking and the use of network packet sniffers.
