Stop Stealing My Data: Sanitizing Stego Channels in 3D Printing Design Files

arXiv:2404.05106v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The increased adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) and the acceptance of AM outsourcing created an ecosystem in which the sending and receiving of digital designs by different actors became normal. It has recently been shown that the STL design files -- most commonly used in AM -- contain steganographic channels. Such channels can allow additional data to be embedded within the STL files without changing the printed model. These factors create a threat of misusing …
