  • Publication number: 20240089301
    Abstract: A system and method are described for information extraction from network traffic traces that are both encrypted and non-encrypted. The system includes a client computer and a remote computer, where the client computer communicates data over a network. The client computer sets a session key log file environment variable, such that when the client computer launches a supported browser, a session key log file (KLF) is created, computer network traffic traces are captured by retrieving data from encrypted traffic, and the KLF and captured traffic are periodically transferred to a remote server. A remote computer performs traffic mining to analyze the captured traffic traces and extract sensitive pieces of information.

  • Patent number: 10887080
    Abstract: A method and computer-readable storage medium for a computer system to perform an encryption scheme is disclosed that is capable of encrypting big data that includes complex data, including image data, sensor data, and text data, and supporting both symmetric and asymmetric-key handling. The encryption scheme uses double hashing using two different consecutively-applied hash functions. With double hashing, the encryption scheme eliminates the threat of known cryptanalysis attacks and provides a highly secure ciphering scheme. Also, the ciphertext header generated in the encryption scheme enables efficient cloud data sharing. A user can share the encrypted data later by re-encrypting the seed and sharing a new ciphertext header without the need of re-encrypting the data or changing the secret or private key. Thus, the encrypted data stays as is in the cloud, and only the seed is encrypted and shared as needed.
