Abstrakt: Covert channels are illegal information flows in systems. Recent research has shown how to detect covert channels in scenario descriptions. This paper recalls these results, and proposes a case study illustrating how scenarios can be used to detect illegal information flows from a scenario description of a protocol. Once a covert information flow is discovered, its bandwidth is computed using the (max, +) algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
