“…In our review, we observed that quite a large number of countermeasures are either not evaluated at all ( [23], [40], [45] , [48] , [49] , [62] , [75] , [88] , [91] , [67] , [92] , [105] , [110], [111], [114], [137], [141], [154], , [160], [174], , [175]) or evaluated weakly ( [60], [70], [100], [109], [132], [138], [147], [158], [161], [165], [171]). We consider an evaluation as weak evaluation when the system is evaluated with a small dataset (e.g.…”

“…Instead of detecting steganographic contents, Hussain and Pandey [110] present an approach that uses public key steganography to alert communicating parties if carrier data comes under an attack on its way. Once alerted, communicating parties can take the required measures to stop the attack or mitigate its effects.…”

Context: One of the main targets of cyber-attacks is data exfiltration, which is the leakage of sensitive or private data to an unauthorized entity. Data exfiltration can be perpetrated by an outsider or an insider of an organization. Given the increasing number of data exfiltration incidents, a large number of data exfiltration countermeasures have been developed. These countermeasures aim to detect, prevent, or investigate exfiltration of sensitive or private data. With the growing interest in data exfiltration, it is important to review data exfiltration attack vectors and countermeasures to support future research in this field. Objective: This paper is aimed at identifying and critically analysing data exfiltration attack vectors and countermeasures for reporting the status of the art and determining gaps for future research. Method: We have followed a structured process for selecting 108 papers from seven publication databases. Thematic analysis method has been applied to analyse the extracted data from the reviewed papers. Results: We have developed a classification of (1) data exfiltration attack vectors used by external attackers and (2) the countermeasures in the face of external attacks. We have mapped the countermeasures to attack vectors. Furthermore, we have explored the applicability of various countermeasures for different states of data (i.e., in use, in transit, or at rest). Conclusion: This review has revealed that (a) most of the state of the art is focussed on preventive and detective countermeasures and significant research is required on developing investigative countermeasures that are equally important; (b) Several data exfiltration countermeasures are not able to respond in real-time, which specifies that research efforts need to be invested to enable them to respond in real-time (c) A number of data exfiltration countermeasures do not take privacy and ethical concerns into consideration, which may become an obstacle in their full adoption (d) Existing research is primarily focussed on protecting data in 'in use' state, therefore, future research needs to be directed towards securing data in 'in rest' and 'in transit' states (e) There is no standard or framework for evaluation of data exfiltration countermeasures. We assert the need for developing such an evaluation framework.

“…However, WSNs usually depend on sensor nodes implemented using microcontrollers with low processing power and storage capacity, thus severely restricting data encryption capabilities. Consequently, instead of using computationally expensive techniques such as public key steganography [ 63 ], advanced encryption standard [ 64 ], or secure hash algorithms [ 65 ], we can opt for encryption models with simpler algorithms and less complex computations. For instance, XOR encryption can be applied to the method known as one-time pad [ 66 ].…”

Infrastructure for Integration of Legacy Electrical Equipment into a Smart-Grid Using Wireless Sensor Networks

At present, the standardisation of electrical equipment communications is on the rise. In particular, manufacturers are releasing equipment for the smart grid endowed with communication protocols such as DNP3, IEC 61850, and MODBUS. However, there are legacy equipment operating in the electricity distribution network that cannot communicate using any of these protocols. Thus, we propose an infrastructure to allow the integration of legacy electrical equipment to smart grids by using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this infrastructure, each legacy electrical device is connected to a sensor node, and the sink node runs a middleware that enables the integration of this device into a smart grid based on suitable communication protocols. This middleware performs tasks such as the translation of messages between the power substation control centre (PSCC) and electrical equipment in the smart grid. Moreover, the infrastructure satisfies certain requirements for communication between the electrical equipment and the PSCC, such as enhanced security, short response time, and automatic configuration. The paper’s contributions include a solution that enables electrical companies to integrate their legacy equipment into smart-grid networks relying on any of the above mentioned communication protocols. This integration will reduce the costs related to the modernisation of power substations.

“…Steganography Public key principle Two or more parties who have never met or shared a secret may use the public-key steganography protocol informally to communicate secret messages over a public channel without the adversary being able to discern their existence [9,10]. : Party Alice can hide a message using Bob's public key if he wants to interact with Party Bob confidentially.…”

The recent rapid advancement of technology has increased the capability of attackers. The main challenge to information security is the requirement for using unconventional philosophies and alternative means and focusing on new aspects to achieve security. This article proposes a new method that uses the collected genetic information on GenBank and its characteristics. The statistics that were calculated for the data that were hidden using this method prove that they meet the security standards. This paper employs unique elements for achieving information hiding based on that information.
