Abstract

We consider a sequence of finite products of a finite set. A statistical test problem is defined on every product. Consistent sequences of probability measures on these products of the set generate probability measures on the set of infinite sequences. Sufficient conditions of nonexistence for consistent test sequences are proved. These results may be interpreted from the point of view of covert channel secrecy.
