New article on “Skype: The Future of Traffic Detection and Classification”
September 5th, 2006Pipeline included my article on Skype traffic detection and classification in its September issue. In this article, I discuss the future of traffic detection and classification, new concerns raised by this technology, and issues with privacy and authenticity. I also address the challenges of detecting Skype traffic and how “traffic classification in the dark” is a very effective protocol detection technique to solve this problem. Are you involved with this type of work? I’d really like to hear your thoughts on the topic.
