Encrypted traffic classification based on packet length distribution of sampling sequence by Chang-xi GAO, Ya-biao WU, Cong WANG

“…A hypothesis testing-based statistical decision model (HTSDM) for application identification of encrypted traf-fic was presented.HTSDM was based on packet length distribution of deterministic sampling sequence at flow level,which was characterized by packet positions,packet directions,packet sizes,packet arrival continuity and packet arrival order.HTSDM boosted deep packet inspection (DPI) by introducing constraints of packet position and direction as well as inter-flow correlation action.A hybrid method of encrypted traffic classification combining DPI and dynamic flow in-spection (DFI) was proposed based on HTSDM.Experiment results show that this method can effectively identify the unique statistical traffic behavior of encrypted application in flow coordinate space,and achieve high precision,recall and overall accuracy while keeping low false positive rate (FPR) and overall FPR.…”

“…Results Our findings suggest that our variable of interest does not have a significant impact on the financial literacy performance of the students in our sample. Examining its interactive effect with other indicators, however, we observe that experience in the use of online payment methods does have a definite positive influence among students from more socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.…”
