With increasing use of cybersecurity-based solutions, most data transmitted over networks is secured either by encryption or similar techniques. While this is essential for security and the protection of data, network traffic classification remains challenging. This is further convoluted when large-scale data is generated at high speed. This requires classification of encrypted network traffic data that is capable of (1) obviating deep packet or content inspection, and (2) maintaining high accuracy on big data produced at high speed, both of which will be addressed by the proposed project. Deep learning is part of machine learning that focuses on learning data representations and is inspired by the structures and functions of the human brain known as artificial neural networks. We will lay the foundation of a framework that will be based on machine learning and deep learning to perform efficient classification of encrypted network traffic data. The outcomes from this research will be used by the industry partner as potential enhancements and extensions to their current products and for developing new products.

随着基于网络安全的解决方案的使用越来越多，通过网络传输的大多数数据都通过加密或类似技术来保护。虽然这对于安全和数据保护至关重要，但网络流量分类仍然具有挑战性。当大规模数据高速生成时，情况会变得更加复杂。这需要对加密网络流量数据进行分类，从而能够（1）避免深度数据包或内容检查，以及（2）保持高速生成的大数据的高精度，这两个问题都将由拟议项目解决。深度学习是机器学习的一部分，专注于学习数据表示，并受到人脑（称为人工神经网络）的结构和功能的启发。我们将奠定基于机器学习和深度学习的框架的基础，以对加密网络流量数据进行有效分类。行业合作伙伴将利用这项研究的结果作为其当前产品的潜在增强和扩展以及开发新产品。
