Driven by human experts, today this process is very time consuming. An automation of both examination of suspicious areas and acquisition of fingerprints lead on the one hand to the covering of larger surfaces and on the other hand to significant speed up of the evidence collection. This work presents an experimental study on capabilities of chromatic white-light sensor (CWL) regarding the contact-less localization of latent fingerprints on differently challenging substrates. The fully automatic CWL-based system is implemented from the acquisition through the feature extraction right up to the classification. The key objective of the work is to develop a methodological approach for the quantitative evaluation of the localization success. Based on the proposed performance measures, the optimal system parameters such as scan resolution, extracted features and classification scheme are specified dependent on the surface material. Our experiments from an actual project with the sensor industry partner show convincing localization performance on easy-to-localize and adequate performance on moderate-to-localize substrates. The hard-to-localize substrates require further improvements of the localization system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinHildebrandtFischeretal.2012, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Hildebrandt, Mario and Fischer, Robert and Kiertscher, Tobias and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Advanced techniques for latent fingerprint detection and validation using a CWL device}, series = {In: Proceedings of SPIE 8436, 84360V. 2012.}, booktitle = {In: Proceedings of SPIE 8436, 84360V. 2012.}, doi = {10.1117/12.922235}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The technology-aided support of forensic experts while investigating crime scenes and collecting traces becomes a more and more important part in the domains of image acquisition and signal processing. The manual lifting of latent fingerprints using conventional methods like the use of carbon black powder is time-consuming and very limited in its scope of application. New technologies for a contact-less and non-invasive acquisition and automatic processing of latent fingerprints, promise the possibilities to inspect much more and larger surface areas and can significantly simplify and speed up the workflow. Furthermore, it allows multiple investigations of the same trace, subsequent chemical analysis of the residue left behind and the acquisition of latent fingerprints on sensitive surfaces without destroying the surface itself. In this work, a FRT MicroProf200 surface measurement device equipped with a chromatic white-light sensor CWL600 is used. The device provides a gray-scale intensity image and 3D-topography data simultaneously. While large area scans are time-consuming, the detection and localization of finger traces are done based on low-resolution scans. The localized areas are scanned again with higher resolution. Due to the broad variety of different surface characteristics the fingerprint pattern is often overlaid by the surface structure or texture. Thus, image processing and classification techniques are proposed for validation and visualization of ridge lines in high-resolution scans. Positively validated regions containing complete or sufficient partial fingerprints are passed on to forensic experts. The experiments are provided on a set of three surfaces with different reflection and texture characteristics, and fingerprints from ten different persons. © (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FischerKiertscherGruhnetal.2012, author = {Fischer, Robert and Kiertscher, Tobias and Gruhn, Stefan and Scheidat, Tobias and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {From Biometrics to Forensics: A Feature Collection and first Feature Fusion Approaches for latent Fingerprint Detection using a Chromatic White Light (CWL) Sensor}, series = {In: Communications and multimedia security : 13th IFIP TC 6 TC 11 international conference ; proceedings / CMS 2012, Canterbury, UK, September 3 - 5, 2012}, booktitle = {In: Communications and multimedia security : 13th IFIP TC 6 TC 11 international conference ; proceedings / CMS 2012, Canterbury, UK, September 3 - 5, 2012}, editor = {De Decker, Bart}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-642-32804-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-32805-3_21}, pages = {207 -- 210}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Application of non-invasive scan technologies for acquisition of latent fingerprints promise a better support of forensic and dactyloscopic experts when securing evidence at crime scenes.

Therefore, we introduce a framework for automated forensic analysis of latent fingerprints. The framework consists of a generic process model for multi-branched process graphs w.r.t. security aspects like integrity, authenticity and confidentiality. It specifies a meta-model to store all necessary data and operations in the process, while keeping the chain of custody.

Within the paper we will give a detailed demarcation of biometric and forensic fingerprint analysis. We will introduce the aim of a partly automated process for forensic fingerprint acquisition, detection, and processing. Based on the idea of splitting the overall scan process into a fast, low resolution coarse scan and a high resolution detailed scan, different approaches and algorithms has to be evaluated, whether they are feasible for detecting latent fingerprints. Referring to the subject of biometrics and emerging applications, this work will show an approach of a novel Fourier-based spectral texture feature for detecting latent fingerprints in low resolution grey-scale images. Our work is based on data that is acquired using a chromatic white light sensor (CWL), which provides intensity and topographic information of the scanned surface areas. While using a very limited set of different surfaces so far, our first experiments have shown good results on flat and non structured surfaces. Using the presented feature, it is possible to detect latent fingerprints on these surfaces. Even on slightly structured surfaces, like wood imitation, the application of the spectral density feature yields promising results. However the first evaluation of the spectral density feature has also shown some serious limitations of its use on low resolution images.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinKiertscherHildebrandtetal.2013, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Kiertscher, Tobias and Hildebrandt, Mario and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Visibility enhancement and validation of segmented latent fingerprints in crime scene forensics}, series = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2013 : 5 - 7 February 2013, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology}, booktitle = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2013 : 5 - 7 February 2013, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-9438-2}, doi = {10.1117/12.2003661}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HerrmannMakrushinDittmannetal.2012, author = {Herrmann, Enrico and Makrushin, Andrey and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Driver/passenger discrimination for the interaction with the dual-view touch screen integrated to the automobile centre console}, series = {Image processing: algorithms and systems X; and parallel processing for imaging applications II : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology]}, booktitle = {Image processing: algorithms and systems X; and parallel processing for imaging applications II : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology]}, editor = {Egiazarian, Karen O.}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-8942-5}, doi = {10.1117/12.907925}, pages = {Art. 82950W}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtKiltzSturmetal.2012, author = {Hildebrandt, Mario and Kiltz, Stefan and Sturm, Jennifer and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {High-resolution printed amino acid traces: a first-feature extraction approach for fingerprint forgery detection}, series = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2012 : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, booktitle = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2012 : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-8950-0}, doi = {10.1117/12.909072}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JankowHildebrandtKiltzetal.2012, author = {Jankow, Mathias and Hildebrandt, Mario and Kiltz, Stefan and Sturm, Jennifer and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Performance analysis of digital cameras versus chromatic white light (CWL) sensors for the localization of latent fingerprints in crime scenes}, series = {Optics, photonics, and digital technologies for multimedia applications II : 17 - 18 April 2012, Brussels, Belgium ; [part of SPIE Photonics Europe]}, booktitle = {Optics, photonics, and digital technologies for multimedia applications II : 17 - 18 April 2012, Brussels, Belgium ; [part of SPIE Photonics Europe]}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-9128-2}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KiltzDittmannVielhauer2012, author = {Kiltz, Stefan and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Beweissichere Daten in der digitalisierten Forensik}, series = {D-A-CH Security 2012 : Bestandsaufnahme - Konzepte - Anwendungen - Perspektiven ; [Arbeitskonferenz ; Konstanz, 25. und 26.

Being divided into several domains (for instance, text steganography, digital media steganography, and network steganography), it is crucial to provide a unified terminology as well as a taxonomy that is not limited to some specific applications or areas. A prime attempt towards a unified understanding of terms was conducted in 2015 with the introduction of a pattern-based taxonomy for network steganography. Six years later, in 2021, the first work towards a pattern-based taxonomy for steganography was proposed. However, this initial attempt still faced several shortcomings, e.g., the lack of patterns for several steganography domains (the work mainly focused on network steganography and covert channels), various terminology issues, and the need of providing a tutorial on how the taxonomy can be used during engineering and scientific tasks, including the paper-writing process.

As the consortium who published this initial 2021-study on steganography patterns, in this paper we present the first comprehensive pattern-based taxonomy tailored to fit all known domains of steganography, including smaller and emerging areas, such as filesystem steganography and cyber-physical systems steganography. Besides, to make our contribution more effective and promote the use of the taxonomy to advance research on steganography, we also provide a thorough tutorial on its utilization.

However, the related terminology is not unified among the different domains, such as digital media steganography, text steganography, cyber-physical systems steganography, network steganography (network covert channels), local covert channels, and out-of-band covert channels. To cope with this, a prime attempt has been done in 2015, with the introduction of the so-called hiding patterns, which allow to describe hiding techniques in a more abstract manner. Despite significant enhancements, the main limitation of such a taxonomy is that it only considers the case of network steganography. Therefore, this paper reviews both the terminology and the taxonomy of hiding patterns as to make them more general. Specifically, hiding patterns are split into those that describe the embedding and the representation of hidden data within the cover object. As a first research action, we focus on embedding hiding patterns and we show how they can be applied to multiple domains of steganography instead of being limited to the network scenario. Additionally, we exemplify representation patterns using network steganography.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KevinHildebrandtAltschaffeletal.2022, author = {Kevin, Lamsh{\"o}ft and Hildebrandt, Mario and Altschaffel, Robert and Keil, Oliver and Hempel, Ivo and Dittmann, Jana and Neubert, Tom and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Resilience against and detection of information hiding in nuclear instrumentation and control systems within the scope of NSS 17-T}, series = {Kerntechnik 2022, Leipzig, 21. - 22.

This framework defines privacy as appropriate information flows subjected to social norms within particular social contexts or spheres. In this paper, we introduce a preliminary version of a semantic model which aims to relate and provide understanding on how well-established business goals may affect their customers' privacy by designing IoT devices with permission access, data acquired by sensors, among other factors. Finally, we provide a use case application showing how to use the semantic model. The model aims to be an educational tool for professionals in business informatics during the modeling and designing process of a product which may gather sensitive data or may infer sensitive information, giving an understanding of the interaction of the product and its footprint with diverse actors (humans or machines).

In consideration of this shift, a new model is proposed in this paper, which aims to help security professionals to identify and analyze incidents revolving around steganographic malware in the future. The model focuses on practical aspects of steganalysis of communication data to elaborate linking properties to previous code analysis knowledge. The model features two distinct roles that interact with a knowledge base which stores malware features and helps building a context for the incident. For evaluation, two image steganography malware types are chosen from popular databases (malpedia and MITRE ATT\&CK®), which are analyzed in multiple steps including steganalysis and code analysis. It is conceptually shown, how the extracted features can be stored in a knowledge base for later use to identify stegomalware from communication data without the need of a thorough code analysis. This allows to uncover previously hidden meta-information about the examined malicious programs, enrich the incident's forensic context traces and thus allows for thorough forensic insights, including attribution and improved preventive security measures in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{NeubertSchuelerUllrichetal.2025, author = {Neubert, Tom and Schueler, Eric and Ullrich, Henning and Buxhoidt, Laura and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Extended Analysis, Detection and Attribution of Steganographic Embedding Methods in Network Data of Industrial Controls Systems}, series = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, volume = {18}, journal = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, number = {1\&2}, publisher = {IARIA}, pages = {112 -- 122}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Since the last decade, it is well known that Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are under attack and attackers nowadays increasingly use stealthy malware (i.e., stegomalware) imple- mented by steganographic embedding methods to in- and exfil- trate hidden information.

For the analysis of steganographic em- bedding methods which are utilized in stealthy malware, the work presented in this paper builds upon a state-of-the-art analysis testbed proposed earlier, which is recapitulated here. It offers the opportunity to analyze network steganographic embedding methods in ICS to elaborate methods to detect and distinguish between them to gain forensic information for attribution of potential attackers and their methods. In this work, we introduce a novel machine learning based approach to distinguish between five selected embedding methods and two embedded message types. We use the analysis testbed to evaluate and determine the accuracy of the novel approach compared to a state-of-the-art approach. In our extensive evaluation, our novel approach has shown to be able to distinguish between network steganographic embedding methods with an average accuracy of 85.7\%, which is an improvement in comparison to the state-of-the-art by +5.9\% and enables a more accurate attribution of attackers.
