Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for detecting and alerting on domain fronting within a network using network location context. Popular services are often hosted by multiple CDNs to increase resiliency and decrease latency. The techniques described herein utilize this insight to identify anomalous encrypted sessions by first creating a baseline of domain name resolutions for a given customer site. The techniques may then look for encrypted sessions destined to an IP address that is anomalous for the given domain name and is known to support domain fronting.
