Treat Traffic Like Trees: A Semantic-Preserving Hierarchical Graph-Based Expert Framework for Encrypted Traffic Analysis

arXiv:2606.04517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based deep learning methods have been widely employed in encrypted traffic analysis to exploit latent correlations across different granularities. However, while complex preprocessing pipelines and sophisticated model structures often achieve strong performance, they may obscure inherent protocol semantics during representation learning. Moreover, the hierarchical structure of protocol layers and their corresponding fields, defined by...
