k-Indistinguishable Traffic Padding in Web Applications
While web-based applications are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, they also present new security and privacy challenges. In particular, recent research revealed that many high profile Web applications might cause private user information to leak from encrypted traffic due to side-channel attacks exploiting packet sizes and timing. Moreover, existing solutions, such as random padding and packet...
متن کاملAnonymous Web Browsing against Traffic Analysis Attacks by Reusing the Cache Memory
Anonymous web browsing is a hot topic with many potential applications for privacy reasons. However, there are few such systems which can provide high level anonymity for web browsing. The reason is the current dominant dummy packet padding method for anonymization against traffic analysis attacks. This method inherits huge delay and bandwidth waste, which inhibits its use for web browsing. In ...
متن کاملA Successful Web Traffic Analysis Attack Using Only Timing Information
We introduce an attack against encrypted web traffic that makes use only of packet timing information on the uplink. This attack is therefore impervious to existing packet padding defences. In addition, unlike existing approaches this timing-only attack does not require knowledge of the start/end of web fetches and so is effective against traffic streams. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the...
متن کاملA First-Hop Traffic Analysis Attack Against Tor
We introduce an attack against encrypted web traffic passing over the first hop – between client and Tor gateway – of the Tor network. The attack makes use only of packet timing information on the uplink and so is impervious to packet padding defences. In addition, we show that the attack is robust against the randomised routing used in Tor. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the attack at ide...
متن کاملPrivacy preseving sequential padding in web-based applications
These Encrypted traffic of many popular Web applications may actually contain disclose highly sensitive data, and lead to serious breaches of user privacy. Specifically, when searching for unique patterns exhibited in packets’ sizes and/or timing, a hacker can potentially find an application’s internal state transitions and the users’ inputs. A solution for preventing this type of side channel ...
