Practical and Efficient Traffic Analysis Defenses in Encrypted Networks

Purpose and goal

Develop, deploy, and evaluate real-world defenses that can mimic regular traffic to counter traffic analysis attacks while preserving performance.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to deliver deployable, low-overhead defenses against traffic analysis attacks, along with methods for quantifying residual information leakage, providing direct value to both research and industry.

Planned approach and implementation

The project develops defenses that are continuously evaluated against adaptive attackers, deployed in real-world environments, and validated through attack-agnostic measurement of information leakage.
