Real-Time Anonymization in Passive Network Monitoring

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview Passive network monitoring that observes user traffic has many advantages over active monitoring that uses test packets. It can provide characteristics of real user traffic, that cannot be detected actively. However, when processing user traffic, one must guarantee user privacy. This is a task of packet header anonymization that removes sensitive information, while keeping as much as possible of the original traffic properties. This paper presents design and implementation of an FPGA-based packet header anonymization that unlike previous approaches operates in real time and prevents sensitive information from getting to the monitoring PC and beyond.

CyberSafe partners Network Ice for advanced IDS

The product uses protocol analysis techniques instead of comparing packets to a database of existing signatures. The vendors claim that the packet dropping problem, often the shortcoming of IDS, is minimised with CentraxICE because the software...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Your communications - compromised

The very fastest algorithms can now decode a 40-bit WEP in a matter of minutes by gathering thousands of samples of repeatedly transmitted header information. By merely bending a fibre over a reasonably tight radius, light leaks out through the...

Cisco tightens VoIP security

Like other packet-based applications, voice networks can suffer from denial-of-service attacks, which are caused when a hacker floods a network with packets until the switches and routers directing traffic throughout the network are frozen.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

With DiffServ, information about priority is places in a packets header; with MPLS and extra header field is attached. The router then places two addresses in the packet's header field - one for the destination, one for the originating device.

VoIP: Don't forget about security

I'm waiting to see the security tool which is a network packet sniffer that reassembles packets on the fly," Murray says. Before the overhaul, the company's network was badly hit by the Blaster worm, which flooded routers with junk packets.

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

If an attacker generated 100 triggering packets per second, and each packet caused 20 minutes of disruption, 120,000 pairs of endpoints could be prevented from communicating at any one time. The Cambridge research group tested the firewall by...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
