Upcoming Talks

There are two upcoming talks in France (CentraleSupélec, Rennes) and Germany (Cyberagentur, online) on our hiding patterns taxonomy, see list of talks.

Website Updated

January 7, 2023

We published a generic paper with lessons learned from developing a new taxonomy: Avoiding Research Tribal Wars Using Taxonomies, IEEE Computer, 2023.

Website Updated

October 4, 2022

We incorporated the 2021-taxonomy version as well as the 2015-taxonomy version into this website so that it can serve as the sole source on steganography hiding patterns now (all other websites are obsolete now).

Taxonomy for Indirect Network-based Steganography

Tobias Schmidbauer presented a survey paper on indirect network covert channels which already uses the ARES’21-taxonomy (see news entry below) and adds new and specific patterns for indirect covert communications. The paper can be found here. Note: These patterns for indirect covert communications can be applied to the most recent version of the steganography hiding patterns, too.
