Attacking Suggest Boxes in Web Applications Over HTTPS Using Side-Channel Stochastic Algorithms

摘要: Web applications are subject to several types of attacks. In particular, side-channel attacks consist in performing a statistical analysis the web traffic gain sensitive information about client. this paper, we investigate how leaks can be used on search engines such as Google or Bing retrieve client’s query. contrast previous works, due payload randomization and compression, it is not always possible uniquely map query signature hence stochastic algorithms must used. They yield, for French language, an exact recovery word more than \(30\) % cases. Finally, present some methods mitigate leaks.
