Abstract

The website fingerprinting attack aims to identify the content (i.e., a webpage accessed by a client) of encrypted and anonymized connections by observing patterns of data flows such as packet size and direction. This attack can be performed by a local passive eavesdropper -one of the weakest adversaries in the attacker model of anonymization networks such as Tor.
