Packet Momentum for Identificationof Anonymity Networks
Khalid Shahbar, Nur Zincir-Heywood · Journal of Cyber Security and Mobility · 2017
Multilayer-encryption anonymity networks provide privacy which has become a significant concern on today's Internet due to many attacks and privacy breaches.The anonymity and privacy these networks provide is a double-edged knife.Increasing attacks, threats and misuse of such valuable anonymity services trigger the need to identify such anonymity networks.Moreover, the implementation of the obfuscation techniques hardens the identification of such networks.Consequently, this research proposes Packet Momentum approach to identify multilayer-encryption anonymity networks.Packet Momentum is a novel approach proposed to identify multilayer-encryption anonymity networks efficiently and accurately and the obfuscations techniques they use.The Packet Momentum aims to use a small number of features and a small number of packets to identify such networks.
