SUMMARY:Light at the middle of the tunnel: middleboxes for selective discl

DESCRIPTION:Network monitoring is vital to the administration and operatio
 n of networks\, but it requires privileged access that only highly trusted
  parties are granted. This severely limits opportunities for external part
 ies\, such as service or equipment providers\, auditors\, or even clients\
 , to measure the health or operation of a network in which they are stakeh
 olders\, but do not have access to its internal structure.\nIn this positi
 on paper we propose the use of middleboxes to open up network monitoring t
 o external parties using techniques from privacy-preservation research. Th
 is would allow distrusted parties to make more inferences about the networ
 k state than currently possible\, without learning any precise information
  about the network or data that crosses it.\nThus the state of the network
  would be more transparent to external stakeholders\, who would be empower
 ed to verify claims made by network operators. Network operators would be 
 able to provide more information about their network without compromising 
 security or privacy.\n\nPaper: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~ns441/files/hmb16.
