Smarter PII Detection in Network Traffic

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.
