“…Traic analysis is an efective method to analyze network traic behavior, and network traic watermarking is an active traic analysis approach that embeds watermark data with speciic patterns into the traic low to realize traic tracking [16]. Up to now, varieties of network traic watermarking, such as inter-packet delay-based watermarking and interval-based watermarking, have been used to attack anonymous systems like Tor [20].…”

Anonymous exchange of data has a strong demand in many scenarios. With the development of IoT and wireless networks, plenty of smart devices are interconnected through wireless technologies such as 5G and Wi-Fi, making it possible to use them for information exchanging. The authors find a P2P network model for secure and anonymous communication, which is a typical Crowds system and the operating mechanism meets the characteristics of limit-resources of IoT devices. Based on this network model, the authors design a lightweight communication scheme for the remote-control system in this work, using two kinds of Virtual-Space s to achieve the purpose of identity announced and data exchanged. The authors implemented a prototype system of the scheme and tested it over the Freenet , proving that the scheme can effectively resist the impact of flow analysis on the anonymity of communication while ensuring communication data security. By analyzing the scheme’s performance, the author believes that the scheme is practical and is suitable for scenarios that are not time-sensitive but require high anonymity.

Anonymous tracking technology of network watermarking is limited by the deployment of tracking devices in traditional network structure, resulting in poor scalability and reusability. Software Defined Network (SDN) boasts more freedom thanks to its separation of the control plane from the data plane. In this paper, a new anonymous communication tracking model SDN-based Anonymous Communication Tracking (SACT) is proposed, which introduces network watermarking into SDN and combines IP time hidden channel and symbol expansion technology. In addition, we introduce a hopping protection mechanism to improve the anti detection ability of the watermark as well. The experimental results show that in a variety of simulated network environments, SACT achieves excellent detection rate and bit error rate, thus it is sufficient to determine the communication relationship between the two parties. Meanwhile, SACT solves the deployment problem of anonymous tracking and improves the availability and scalability of covert communication.

With the rapid development of edge computing technology, the scale of the network continues to expand. Various types of applications are becoming more widespread. In the edge computing, existing network agents, NAT, IP tunneling technologies, and rapidly evolving anonymous communication systems provide convenience for attackers to hide real IP. In addition, the attacker forms a ''stepping'' chain by breaking through several intermediate systems of the edge computing network. Thereby implementing an invisible intrusion attack across multiple autonomous domains can increase the difficulty of intrusion tracking. Aiming at the problem of insufficient applicability of existing interval centroid based watermarking technique, this paper proposes a histogram specified interval centroid-based watermarking technique. It improves crossdomain collaborative intrusion tracking. This technique improves the resistance of the prior art to multiflow attacks in edge computing. It decreases the time and space overhead of the detector. Compared with other interval centroid based watermarking techniques, this method has stronger concealment. The proposed method can effectively defend against multi-flow attacks of edge computing. The time and space overhead of the detector can be reduced when multiple attack flows are tracked in parallel. Thus, it is suitable for edge computing. The robustness and adaptability are improved by this method.INDEX TERMS Edge computing, intrusion tracking watermarking, network flow.
