TOR NETWORK VIDEO FINGERPRINTING OVER RESIDENTIAL WI-FI AND CONGESTED NETWORK INTERFACES

Falk, Theodore B.Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School2024

Both ordinary, concerned citizens and malicious actors, such as extremist groups, use the Onion Router (Tor) to encrypt their web traffic and protect their online anonymity. This usage has led to an interest in attacks on Tor, such as video fingerprinting, which seeks to identify what video is …

Measuring the impact of site configurations on site fingerprinting over the web and Tor

Reddy, SanjeevUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2020

… mechanisms or anonymity systems, such as the Tor network. In this thesis, we examine how changes to a site’s configuration (i.e., the size of the site, site content, hosting strategies, etc.) can influence an adversary’s ability to successfully fingerprint a user’s visit to a site over the web …

High-fidelity simulation of load balancing methods in Tor

Cheng, Chin-YuUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2020

… two novel performance improving algorithms for Tor using the Shadow simulation framework. The first is Tightrope, a path selection algorithm for improving the load balancing of Tor circuits across the Tor network. The second is using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) scheme to accurately …

Trustworthy and scalable anonymous communication

Mittal, PrateekUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2012

… deployed anonymity systems such as that of the Tor network suffer from the problems of (a) limited scalability, (b) reliance on a few central points of trust, and (c) trust issues due to Sybil attack. In this thesis, we investigate the design of novel approaches to anonymous communication that …
