System, Device, and Method of Classifying Encrypted Network Communications

This invention describes a system that watches your internet traffic to figure out what kind of information is being sent and what applications are sending it. It does this by looking at individual pieces of data within your web connections and using smart computer models (like AI) to categorize them. While the original description focused on encrypted HTTPS traffic, the only surviving claim specifically describes classifying unencrypted HTTP traffic.

Why it matters: The significant advancements in machine learning and AI since 2021 could enable far more sophisticated and real-time classification of HTTP traffic, identifying nuanced application behaviors or content types that were harder to detect five years ago. However, the surviving claims do not cover the more challenging problem of classifying encrypted HTTPS traffic, which was the focus of the abstract.
