I Know What You Saw Last Minute - Encrypted HTTP Adaptive Video Streaming Title Classification

Previous research has shown that information can be extracted from encrypted multimedia streams. This includes video titles classification of non HTTP adaptive streams (nonHAS). This paper presents an algorithm for encrypted HTTP adaptive video streaming title classification. We evaluated our algorithm on a new YouTube popular videos dataset that was collected from the internet under real-world network conditions. We provide the dataset and the crawler for future research. Our algorithm’s classification accuracy is 98%.
