Primes

• Side Channel Attack
  • In networking and traffic analysis it is packet timing and size revealing payload type under encryption, website fingerprinting by traffic shape, and call-content inference from variable-bit-rate codec sizes.

    This sourceEven when an MPEG-DASH video stream is encrypted, variable-bit-rate segmentation produces content-dependent packet bursts whose timing/size uniquely fingerprint the title — encrypted-traffic analysis as a side channel.
