Luca Caviglione, Wojciech Mazurczyk
TL;DR
This paper explores the potential for information-hiding techniques within iOS, focusing on Siri's role in enabling covert communication channels that could challenge iOS's resistance to such methods.
Contribution
It investigates the possibility of exploiting Siri for information hiding, highlighting a new avenue for covert communication in iOS.
Findings
Siri can potentially be used to establish covert channels.
iOS's resistance to information hiding may be vulnerable via voice-controlled services.
The study identifies new security considerations for iOS.
Abstract
The Apple operating system (iOS) has so far proved resistant to information-hiding techniques, which help attackers covertly communicate. However, Siri - a native iOS service that controls iPhones and iPads via voice commands - could change this trend.
