  • Abstract
    This paper deals with a new type of covert channel problem that arose when we designed a multilevel secure computer (MLS) system, using a quasi-secure, asynchronous, communication device called the Pump. We call this new type of covert channel a statistical channel. It is our hope to get feedback from experts who work in the intersection of information theory and statistics.
