Why is it important?
There is a lot of effort in pushing for encryption in the Internet - with the aim at improving users privacy and service readability.
Perspectives
The paper opens new attack vectors and suggests new challenges to improve end-users' privacy. It shows how it is possible to leverage a big data approach to design and train a machine learning classifier that can recover the name of the serve by simply looking at traffic exchanged by users with it. This opens new challenges and calls for new solutions to protect users privacy.
