A Timing Information Based Attack on Web Traffic Analysis

Abstract

We introduce an attack against encrypted web traffic that makes use solely of packet timing information on the uplink. This attack is thus imperviable to existing packet padding defenses. Additionally, not like existing approaches, this timing-only attack doesn't need the knowledge of the start/end of web fetches then is effective against traffic streams. We tend to demonstrate the effectiveness of the attack against both wired and wireless traffic, achieving mean success rates in more than 90%. Additionally to being of interest in its own right, this timing-only attack serves to spotlight deficiencies in existing defenses then to areas wherever it might be useful for virtual private network (VPN) designers to focus more attention.
