  • Your Wifi Is Leaking: Inferring Private User Information Despite Encryption
    Your WiFi Is Leaking: Inferring Private User Information Despite Encryption JOHN SATKINSON A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Security & Crime Science University College London March 2015 1 2 Abstract This thesis describes how wireless networks can inadvertently leak and broadcast users’ personal information despite the correct use of encryption. Users would likely assume that their activities (for example, the program or app they are using) and personal in- formation (including age, religion, sexuality and gender) would remain confidential when using an encrypted network. However, we demonstrate how the analysis of en- crypted traffic patterns can allow an observer to infer potentially sensitive data remotely, passively, undetectably, and without any network credentials. Without the ability to read encrypted WiFi traffic directly, the limited side-channel data available is processed. Following an investigation to determine what information is available and how it can be represented, it was determined that the comparison of various permutations of timing and frame size information is sufficient to distinguish specific user activities. The construction of classifiers via machine learning (Random Forests) utilising this side-channel information represented as histograms allows for the detection of user activity despite WiFi encryption. Studies showed that Skype voice traffic could be identified despite being interleaved with other activities. A subsequent study then demonstrated that mobile apps could be individually detected and, con- cerningly, used to infer potentially sensitive information about users due to their per- sonalised nature. Furthermore, a full prototype system is developed and used to demonstrate that this analysis can be performed in real-time using low-cost commodity hardware in real- world scenarios.
