互联网测量界对主动和被动测量的隐私影响越来越敏感。对网络数据匿名化缺点的研究促使社区研究数据共享技术，并关注主动测量和主动测量数据集。这些数据集中的一个关键指标是往返时间 (RTT)，例如测量的往返时间 (RTT)。通过 ping 或跟踪路由。本文检验了互联网 RTT 数据分析对于开放研究来说是安全的假设，提出了以下问题：在已知有利位置进行定期延迟测量的情况下，可以对远程目标做出哪些潜在的私密推论？我们通过回顾涉及该主题的各种文献以及对来自固定和移动互联网测量基础设施的 RTT 数据的分析来探讨最终用户隐私的风险。虽然我们发现普遍的安全假设通常成立，但我们会探讨注意事项，并在可能不成立的情况下提出缓解建议。
The Internet measurement community is increasingly sensitive to the privacy implications of both active and passive measurement. Research into the drawbacks of network data anonymization has led the community to investigate data sharing techniques, as well as to focus on active measurements and active measurement datasets. A key metric in these datasets is round-trip-time (RTT) as measured e.g. by ping or traceroute. This paper examines the assumption that the analysis of Internet RTT data is safe for open research by posing the question: what potentually-private inferences can be made about a remote target given periodic latency measurements from known vantage points under one’s control? We explore the risks to end-user privacy both through a review of diverse literature touching on the subject as well as on the analysis of RTT data from fixed and mobile Internet measurement infrastruture. While we find that the common assumption of safety generally holds, we explore caveats and give recommendations for mitigation in those cases where it may not.
