Abstract
This paper explains a range of techniques for covert channel control for the Stubs network security devices. The techniques deal with both timing and storage channels, and rely on a combination of channel elimination, reduction, and audit mechanisms. Although specific to the Stubs system, the techniques of analysis and control are adaptable to similar systems.
