Light at the middle of the tunnel: middleboxes for selective disclosure of network monitoring to distrusted parties

摘要: Network monitoring is vital to the administration and operation of networks, but it requires privileged access that only highly trusted parties are granted. This severely limits opportunity for external parties, such as service or equipment providers, auditors, even clients, measure health a network in which they stakeholders, do not have its internal structure.In this position paper we propose use middleboxes open up using privacy-preserving technology. will allow distrusted make more inferences about state than currently possible, without learning any precise information data crosses it.Thus be transparent who empowered verify claims made by operators. operators able provide their compromising security privacy.
