Are Encypted Protocols Really a Guarantee of Privacy?

Original language description

Most internet traffic is being encrypted by application protocols that should guarantee users&apos; privacy and anonymity of data during the transmission. Our team has developed a unique system that can create a specific pattern of traffic and further analyze it by using machine learning methods. We investigated the possibility of identifying the network video streams encrypted within the HTTPS protocol and explored that it is possible to identify a particular content with a certain probability. Our paper provides a methodology and results retrieved from the real measurements. As the testing data set, we used the streams coming from the popular platform Youtube. Our results confirm that it is possible to identify encrypted video streams via their specific traffic imprints, although it should not be possible due to the used encryption.
