2011 Talks

SSL Traffic Analysis Attacks

The talk will focus on modern SSL traffic analysis attacks. Although it has been known and great papers have been published about it most people still are not aware of the length an attacker can go through in order to extract useful information from the SSL sessions. By showing some large targets and some useful progress in that space it is hoped that the audience will gain a better understanding of what SSL traffic analysis is, that it is a real threat (depending on the skills of the assumed adversary), and some knowledge on how to try and avoid these type of attacks.

There will be a bunch of research tools accompanying the talk with at least one being a proof of concept on how to do traffic analysis on Google Maps.
