Crypto-PAn: Cryptography-based Prefix-preserving
Anonymization
Crypto-PAn is a cyrptography-based
sanitization tool we developed for network trace owners to anonymize
the IP addresses in their traces in a prefix-preserving manner.
Crypto-PAn has the following properties:
- One-to-one The mapping from
original IP addresses to anonymized IP addresses is one-to-one.
- Prefix-preserving
In Cyrpto-PAn, the IP address anonymization is prefix-preserving.
That is, if two original IP addresses share a k-bit
prefix, their anonymized mappings will also share a k-bit
prefix.
- Consistent across traces Crypto-PAn
allows multiple traces to be sanitized in a consistent way, over time
and across locations. That is, the same IP address in different
traces is anonymized to the same address, even though the traces might
be sanitized separately at different time and/or at different locations.
- Cryptography-based To
sanitize traces, trace owners provide Crypto-PAn a secret key.
Anonymization consistency across multiple traces is achieved by
the use of the same key. The construction of Crypto-PAn preserves
the secrecy of the key and the (pseudo)randomness of the mapping from
an original IP address to its anonymized counterpart.
Crypto-PAn has been recognized by the network community and used by
many researchers and trace providers (e.g., CAIDA, MIT, UIUC, and
UMASS) or incorporated in their own tools.
