Subliminal Messaging
Embedded secure channels within traditional and internet telephony
Most of todays telephony consists of digital transmissions, so given a codec without mangling or added noise, it becomes possible to treat (part of) that as a data channel, and pass meaningful data through it while maintaining an acceptable noise floor to the sound being transmitted. That data channel can give rise to information exchange, including key material and alternative contact options.
The project will work on various improvements that connect telephony and digital communication: (1) VPN setup with telephony protocols, (2) data communication over the PSTN backbone and its extensions into VoIP, (3) digital security for PSTN and VoIP calls.
