Abstract: Several recent studies claim that encrypted network traffic exhibits statistically significant randomness deficiencies due to differences in cryptographic algorithms, implementations, and parameterization, and that such patterns can be exploited for application classification in TLS traffic. This interpretation has been adopted by measurement researchers, most prominently in the often-cited ET-BERT study.
