The development of microelectronics forms new channels of confidential information leakage. The transmission of acoustic information by digitally modulating the light output of LEDs has now become physically realizable. Theoretical calculations showed a high potential sensitivity of MEMS microphones. The combined use of digital MEMS microphones and LED room lighting controllers allows you to transmit a digital data stream of 40 800 Bits / s over 100 meters with minimal signal-to-noise ratios. Conducted research reveals a new information leakage channel and describes its characteristics, which will make it possible to develop administrative and technical
countermeasures.

The considered channel of information leakage potentially represents a probable risk of information leakage. The formation of a leak channel is associated with the use of lighting devices. The calculated estimated values of the leak channel channel indicate its high potential danger. The considered model of the leakage channel of acoustic information by means of modulation of visible light based on digital modulation methods makes it possible to use a maximum likelihood receiver to receive a coded signal susceptible to intersymbol interference and additive white Gaussian noise.
