Leveraging strategic connection migration-powered traffic splitting for privacy. (arXiv:2205.03326v1 [cs.CR])

Network-level adversaries have developed increasingly sophisticated
techniques to surveil and control users' network traffic. In this paper, we
exploit our observation that many encrypted protocol connections are no longer
tied to device IP address (e.g., the connection migration feature in QUIC, or
IP roaming in WireGuard and Mosh), due to the need for performance in a
mobile-first world. We design and implement a novel framework, Connection
Migration Powered Splitting (CoMPS), that utilizes these performance features
for enhancing user privacy. With …
