Stego Intrusion Detection System

Overview This paper will describe the design, development, and testing of a prototype computer network Steganography Intrusion Detection System (SIDS) architecture. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) recognized the need to have the ability to detect the presence of hidden data in perception-based objects (e.g., images) passed into and out of computer networks. With widespread use of commercial and freeware steganography tools, it is very likely that these techniques will be used against the networks eventually and one must be prepared for such an attack. The SIDS effort at AFRL developed the first intrusion detection system of its kind that demonstrates how hidden data can be discovered as it enters or leaves an enterprise network.
