Identification of Secret Algorithms Using Oracle Attacks

Abstract

The goal of this project is the development of a system of useful tools for reverse-engineering covert channels and information hiding systems. This includes new algorithms for detection and estimation of certain hiding systems, and the statistical artifacts they leave behind. We also proposed an end-to-end system implementing our various research efforts in order to assist a specialist in breaking a covert communication system given very little information. Since it is likely for steganography to be used on very large multimedia files, e.g. audio and video, there are substantial issues to be addressed on the implementation end of such a system as well as the theoretical end.
