Covert Channel Capacity Analysis Based on Entropy
Li Chen, Shiguang Ju, Conghua Zhou, Yi Zhang · 2008
This paper presents a method based on information entropy to analyze the capacity of covert channels. Built upon noninterference, the method is firstly used to calculate the covert channel capacity, then to analyze the factors that have an impact on this quantity. Finally an example is given of the capacity calculation for covert channels in a multilevel secure database.
