Abstract
En 中文
According to the critical requirements of the Internet, a wide range of privacy-preserving technologies are available, e.g. proxy sites, virtual private networks, and anonymity tools. Such mechanisms are challenged by traffic-classification endeavors which are crucial for network-management tasks and have recently become a milestone in their privacy-degree assessment, both from attacker and designer standpoints. Further, the new Internet era is characterized by the capillary distribution of smart devices leveraging high-capacity communication infrastructures: this results in huge amount of heterogeneous network traffic, i.e. big data. Hence, herein we present BDeH, a novel hierarchical framework for traffic classification of anonymity tools. BDeH is enabled by big data-paradigm and capitalizes the machine learning workhorse for operating with encrypted traffic. In detail, our proposal allows for seamless integration of data parallelism provided by big-data technologies with model parallelism enabled by hierarchical approaches. Results prove that the so-achieved double parallelism carries no negative impact on traffic-classification effectiveness at any granularity level and achieves non negligible performance enhancements with respect to non-hierarchical architectures (+4.5% F-measure). Also, it significantly gains over either pure data or pure model parallelism (resp. centralized) approaches by reducing both training completion time-up to 78% (resp. 90%)-and cloud-deployment cost-up to 31% (resp. 10%).
