DESCRIPTION:Kevin P. Dyer presents:P0wning DPI with Format-Transforming E
 ncryption &#13\;\n&#13\;\nDeep packet inspection (DPI) technologies prov
 ide much-needed visibility and control of network traffic using port-&#1
 3\;\nindependent protocol identification (PIPI)\, where a network flow i
 s labeled with its application-layer protocol based on packet contents.&
 #13\;\nIn many cases PIPI can be used for good. As one example\, it allo
 ws network administrators to elevate priority of time-sensitive (e.g.\,&
 #13\;\nVoIP) data streams. In other cases PIPI can be used for harm\, na
 tion-states employ PIPI to block censorship circumvention tools such&#13
 \;\nas Tor. There are many ways to perform PIPI\, however\, at the core 
 of nearly all modern PIPI systems are regular expressions --- an&#13\;\n
 expressive tool to compactly specify sets of strings.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#1
 3\;\nIn this talk\, Kevin reviews the state-of-the-art research on the c
 apabilities of state-level DPI\, then presents a novel cryptographic&#13
 \;\nprimitive called format-transforming encryption (FTE.) An FTE scheme
 \, intuitively\, extends conventional symmetric encryption with the&#13\
 ;\nability to transform the ciphertext into a user-defined format using 
 regular expressions. An FTE-based record layer will be presented&#13\;\n
 that can encrypt arbitrary TCP traffic and coerce modern DPI systems int
 o misclassifying any data stream as a target protocol (e.g.\,&#13\;\nHTT
 P\, SMB\, RSTP\, etc.) of the user's choosing. What's more\, this work i
 s not only theoretical in nature --- an open-source FTE&#13\;\nprototype
  is publicly available and has had success in subverting modern DPI syst
 ems\, including the Great Firewall of China.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPSU is kindl
 y providing coffee\, tea\, and cookies for us.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nKevin P. D
 yer is a PhD student at Portland State University. His research focuses 
 on building protocols that are resistant to traffic-analysis attacks and
  discriminatory routing policies.. Previously\, Kevin worked as a softwa
 re engineer in telecommunications security\, web security and network se
 curity. He holds an MSc in the Mathematics of Cryptography and Communica
 tions from Royal Holloway\, University of London\, and a BS in Computer 
 Science and Mathematics from Santa Clara University.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13
 \;\n&#13\;\nThe Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501c3
  not-for-profit worldwide charitable organization focused on improving t
 he security of application software. To sign up for future meeting notes
