Abstract

Traffic analysis is a serious threat over the network. An attacker can analyze network traffic patterns to infer packet's content, even though it is encrypted. This article demonstrates a traffic analysis attack that exploits vulnerabilities in encrypted smartphone communications to infer the web pages being visited by a user.
