CoAP-Covert-Channels

We present two covert channels in CoAP. One using artificial reconnections, the other using artificial resets (resulting in the proposal of a new hiding pattern. The code was implemented by S. Zillien.

This repository contains the proof-of-concept code for the publication:

L. Hartmann, S. Zillien, S. Wendzel: Reset- and Reconnection-based Covert Channels in CoAP, in Proc. European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference (EICC'21), ACM, 2021, to be held virtually in November 2021. The paper was part of the EICC's DETONATOR'21 session.
