Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for decoy routing and covert channel bonding are described. The decoy routing system includes a client computing device, a decoy router, and a decoy proxy such that packets addressed to a decoy destination are re-routed by the decoy router to a covert destination via the decoy proxy. The decoy routing method may be applied to a covert channel bonding process, in which a plurality of packet data streams are sent to one or more decoy destinations, re-routed appropriately via one or more decoy routers and/or decoy proxies, and assembled together into a single packet data stream at either a decoy proxy, or a final covert destination.
