The covert channel limiter revisited
Keith Loepere · ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review · 1989
In a previous article 1 , I introduced the idea of a mechanism (the covert channel limiter) that would watch for the potential uses of covert channels and affect the responsible process (or process group) only when such potential uses exceeded the allowable bandwidth for covert channels. Recent work involving the design of the Opus operating system (target class B3) has refined and extended this idea. This paper extends the informal basis for the covert channel limiter and extends its possible utility.
