Secure P2p Voice over Ip Using Deep Packet Inspection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Skype is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Voice over IP (VOIP) chat program. It provides its clients with an inexpensive means to communicate worldwide via the internet through wired and wireless networks. In the past this application was limited strictly to computers, yet with continuous advancements in mobile communication, Skype phones and other mobile devices have recently hit the market in an attempt to capitalize on Skype’s reliable connection algorithms. However, despite the success of this application, it is important to note that due to Skype’s connection algorithm and the nature of P2P, a number of vulnerabilities emerge that threaten both users and their networks. This paper outlines how to block the Skype application through the use of Deep Packet Inspection. This novel approach is completely scalable to networks of any size as a means of blocking one of the largest threats to commercial and government networks today.

Peer-to-Peer IP Traffic Classification Using Decision Tree and IP Layer Attributes
We present a new approach using data-mining technique and, in particular, decision tree to classify peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic in IP networks. We captured the Internet traffic at a main gateway router, performed preprocessing on the data, selected the most significant attributes, and prepared a training-data set to which the decision-tree algorithm was applied. We built several models using a c...
متن کاملOn the Performance of OpenDPI in Identifying P2P Truncated Flows
This paper aims to show the impact on classification accuracy and the level of computational gain that could be obtained in applying deep packet inspection on truncated peer to peer traffic flows instead of complete ones. Using one of the latest open source classifiers, experiments were conducted to evaluate classification performance on full and truncated network flows for different protocols,...
متن کاملDeep Packet Inspection in Perspective: Tracing its lineage and surveillance potentials
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are responsible for transmitting and delivering their customers’ data requests, ranging from requests for data from websites, to that from filesharing applications, to that from participants in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) chat sessions. Using contemporary packet inspection and capture technologies, ISPs can investigate and record the content of unencryp...
متن کاملIP over Voice-over-IP for censorship circumvention
Open communication over the Internet poses a serious threat to countries with repressive regimes, leading them to develop and deploy networkbased censorship mechanisms within their networks. Existing censorship circumvention systems face different difficulties in providing unobservable communication with their clients; this limits their availability and poses threats to their users. To provide ...
متن کاملDetection of Encrypted Traffic Generated by Peer-to-Peer Live Streaming Applications Using Deep Packet Inspection
The number of applications using the peer-to-peer (P2P) networking paradigm and their popularity has substantially grown over the last decade. They evolved from the file-sharing applications to media streaming ones. Nowadays these applications commonly encrypt the communication contents or employ protocol obfuscation techniques. In this dissertation, it was conducted an investigation to identif...
