C2Hunter: Detection and Mitigation of Covert Channels in Data Centers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data centers provides both the applications, systems software and the hardware as services over the Internet, which is named cloud computing [1–3]. It is core infrastructure of cloud computing, supporting dynamic deployment and elastic resource management. With the powerful computing and storing capabilities, cloud computing has become increasingly popular [4, 5]. The fundamental mechanism of cloud

Whispers in the Hyper-space: High-speed Covert Channel Attacks in the Cloud
Information security and privacy in general are major concerns that impede enterprise adaptation of shared or public cloud computing. Specifically, the concern of virtual machine (VM) physical co-residency stems from the threat that hostile tenants can leverage various forms of side channels (such as cache covert channels) to exfiltrate sensitive information of victims on the same physical syst...

متن کاملDetection of Covert Channel Encoding in Network Packet Delays
Covert channels are mechanisms for communicating information in ways that are difficult to detect. Data exfiltration can be an indication that a computer has been compromised by an attacker even when other intrusion detection schemes have failed to detect a successful attack. Covert timing channels use packet interarrival times, not header or payload embedded information, to encode covert messa...
متن کاملAn Effective Covert Timing Channels Detection: Support Vector Machine & Hyperbolic Hopfield Neural Network
A network covert channel is a mechanism that can be used to leak information across a network in violation of a security policy and in a manner that can be difficult to detect. Detecting and preventing covert channels is particularly important for multilevel security systems in which processes working with classified information may leak information to processes with a lower classification leve...
