Abstract
Improving communication privacy for the Internet is increasingly important for users. Although there are various forms of protection for communication privacy at various communication layers, Internet communication requires packet addressing information to remain visible for correct forwarding of packets. So, address bits could be used for tracking individual users in terms of network usage and location, as well as building a picture of service usage through flow correlation. This talk describes an approach to packet-level addressing that provides enhanced protection against such privacy attacks. The approach only requires updates to the end-systems, works over existing networks and for existing applications, and can be deployed incrementally.

I am a professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, UK. I am interested in the design, use and performance of computer communication systems, architectures, protocols and applications. I have a preference for practical work, using test-beds -- I like to build, test, and break things. At the moment, ILNP (https://ilnp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk) is an exciting area of work for me.
