Internet users are vulnerable to privacy attacks despite the use of encryption. Webpage fingerprinting, an attack that analyzes encrypted traffic, can identify the webpages visited by a user in a given website. Recent research works have…
Detecting covert channels among legitimate traffic represents a severe challenge due to the high heterogeneity of networks. Therefore, we propose an effective covert channel detection method, based on the analysis of DNS network data…
In this paper, we introduce a novel end-to-end traffic classification method to distinguish between traffic classes including VPN traffic in three layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. Classification of VPN traffic is not…
Browser fingerprinting is a growing technique for identifying and tracking users online without traditional methods like cookies. This paper gives an overview by examining the various fingerprinting techniques and analyzes the entropy and…
As cyber threats continue to evolve and diversify, it has become increasingly challenging to identify the root causes of security breaches that occur between periodic security assessments. This paper explores the fundamental importance of…
DNS is a distributed, fault tolerant system that avoids a single point of failure. As such it is an integral part of the internet as we use it today and hence deemed a safe protocol which is let through firewalls and proxies with no or…
Fingerprint verification systems are becoming ubiquitous in everyday life. This trend is propelled especially by the proliferation of mobile devices with fingerprint sensors such as smartphones and tablet computers, and fingerprint…
The demand for biometric systems has been increasing with the growth of the smartphone market. Biometric devices allow the user to authenticate easily while securing its private data without the need to remember any access code. Amongst…
Device fingerprinting can be used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to identify vulnerable IoT devices for early prevention of threats. However, due to the wide deployment of middleboxes in ISP networks, some important data, e.g.,…
The scarcity of data and the high complexity of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) attacks have created challenges in comprehending their behavior and hindered the exploration of effective detection techniques. To create an effective APT…
Domain fronting is a network communication technique that involves leveraging (or abusing) content delivery networks (CDNs) to disguise the final destination of network packets by presenting them as if they were intended for a different…
Development of information technology, especially in the field of computer network allows the exchange of information faster and more complex and the data that is exchanged can vary. Security of data on communication in the network is a…
Protecting users' privacy over the Internet is of great importance; however, it becomes harder and harder to maintain due to the increasing complexity of network protocols and components. Therefore, investigating and understanding how data…
Multiple-vantage-point domain control validation (multiVA) is an emerging defense for mitigating BGP hijacking attacks against certificate authorities. While the adoption of multiVA is on the rise, little work has quantified its…
Implicit authentication consists of a server authenticating a user based on the user's usage profile, instead of/in addition to relying on something the user explicitly knows (passwords, private keys, etc.). While implicit authentication…
802.11 device fingerprinting is the action of characterizing a target device through its wireless traffic. This results in a signature that may be used for identification, network monitoring or intrusion detection. The fingerprinting method…
With the emergence of smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT) devices as well as deep learning technologies have witnessed an increasing adoption. To support the requirements of such paradigm in terms of memory and computation, joint and…
Several recent studies have demonstrated that people show large behavioural uniqueness. This has serious privacy implications as most individuals become increasingly re-identifiable in large datasets or can be tracked while they are…
The advancements in networking technologies have led to a new paradigm of controlling networks, with data plane programmability as a basis. This facility opens up many advantages, such as flexibility in packet processing and better network…
