Covert channels are signaling techniques which bypass secrecy
classification, right? e.g. twiddling with free disk and other
system parameters. Passing messages in digital signatures, which
I've always seen called "subliminal channels", could of course be
used as a covert channel if the OS permits signatures on material
accessible to lower-classification folk.
