Smarter PII Detection in Network Traffic
Fine-tuning embeddings with triplet loss for enhanced security
This research introduces an end-to-end deep learning approach for detecting personally identifiable information (PII) in mobile network traffic without manual feature engineering.
- Uses triplet loss-based fine-tuning to improve network embedding quality
- Eliminates the need for external feature selection before model training
- Enables more effective identification of personal data exfiltration from mobile devices
- Strengthens security measures against unauthorized data leakage
This advancement matters because it provides a more robust framework for protecting user privacy by automatically detecting when sensitive information is exposed in network communications, addressing a critical cybersecurity challenge in mobile ecosystems.
