Abstract

Air–gap is an efficient technique for the improving of computer security. Proposed technique uses backlight modulation of monitor screen for data transmission from infected computer. The optimization algorithm for the segmentation of video stream is proposed for the improving of data transmission robustness. This algorithm is tested using Monte Carlo approach with full frame analysis for different values of standard deviations of additive Gaussian noise. Achieved results show improvements for proposed selective image processing for low values of standard deviation about ten times.
