Website fingerprinting: attacking popular privacy enhancing technologies with the multinomial naïve-bayes classifier

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Privacy enhancing technologies like OpenSSL, OpenVPN or Tor establish an encrypted tunnel that enables users to hide content and addresses of requested websites from external observers This protection is endangered by local traffic analysis attacks that allow an external, passive attacker between the PET system and the user to uncover the identity of the requested sites. However, existing proposals for such attacks are not practicable yet.
