9 statements about BlindBox, every show
Popa: BlindBox increases page load time by 15% to 100%
“In terms of the transmission time, we increase it so page load time would become 15% to a hundred percent slower.”
Popa: BlindBox detection speed is competitive with Snort
“So the detection of the middle box is competitive to Snort.”
Popa: BlindBox equality matching supports watermarks, filtering, and IDS rules
“Only the equality part that I told you about can support already watermarks, checking if exfiltrated documents contain watermarks, and parental filtering, and a bunch of the IDS rules.”
Popa: BlindBox middleboxes learn only matching malicious string locations
“The middle box learns only if a malicious string matches at some location, but it doesn't learn anything else about the other locations.”
BlindBox uses secure two-party computation during SSL handshake for encrypted rule generation
“So for this, we use really cool primitive from the crypto community, namely secure two-party computation, which enables the middle box and the user during the SSL handshake to produce this encryption scheme to get this encryption encrypted value together witho…”
Popa: BlindBox encryption operates at network rates using hardware AES
“And third is that actually it's fast. It can run at network rates, because it only uses AES, and we have AES instructions in hardware.”
Popa: BlindBox encryption matches security of randomized and speed of deterministic schemes
“So as part of Blindbox, our first contribution was to construct such a scheme. A scheme that is as secure as randomized schemes, and as fast as deterministic schemes.”
Popa: BlindBox is first system enabling DPI on encrypted traffic
“Our system blind box is the first to show that this could be possible, and is the first system that enables DPI middle boxes to inspect traffic without seeing the traffic.”
