Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Internet of Things (IoT) are used for various purposes, and many heterogeneous sensors and devices is connected to networks. We need to control quality of service (QoS) and manage connected devices to optimize network resources and topologies, but no method to manage a lot of devices simply at low cost has been established . One of the methods for managing a lot of devices is device estimation by analyzing communication protocols and system logs. However, communication protocols or formats of system logs of devices are different, and it is difficult to uniformly manage devices. Therefore, we need a method to identify devices efficiently. In this paper, we propose a method to identify manufacturers and function categories (e.g. cameras and speakers) of devices by analyzing network traffic in multi-stages. We identify manufacturers of devices and IoT by analyzing packet headers and payloads with machine learning. Then, we identify function categories of devices, which are identified as IoT in the previous stage, by analyzing traffic waveforms with deep learning. We evaluate the device identification performance with our method and show that our method can identify manufacturers and function categories of devices.
