Encrypted Network Traffic Analysis

This book provides a detailed study on sources of encrypted network traffic, methods and techniques for analyzing, classifying and detecting the encrypted traffic. The authors provide research findings and objectives in the first 5 chapters, on encrypted network traffic, protocols and applications of the encrypted network traffic. The authors also analyze the challenges and issues with encrypted network traffic. It systematically introduces the analysis and classification of encrypted traffic and methods in detecting the anomalies in encrypted traffic. The effects of traditional approaches of encrypted traffic, such as deep packet inspection and flow based approaches on various encrypted traffic applications for identifying attacks is discussed as well. This book presents intelligent techniques for analyzing the encrypted network traffic and includes case studies.
