I am not entirely sure if you are talking about any specific articles. But I know of relevant work in this field. Which takes us to these two papers P. Eckersley. How unique is your web browser? In Privacy Enhancing Technologies, volume 6205 of LNCS, pages 1-18. Springer, 2010 http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-14527-8_1 And On Inferring TCP Behavior http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/padhye/publications/tbit.pdf There are more of course. _______________________________________________ dev-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-privacy
