A covert channel is described as: 'any communication channel that can be exploited by a process to transfer information in a manner that violates the systems security policy.' Essentially, it is a method of communication that is not part of an actual computer system design, but can be used to transfer information to users or system processes that normally would not be allowed access to the information.
