There is partial mitigation for RAPTOR: Counter-RAPTOR from 2017 (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=7958620 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=795...) with mostly the same authors.
I haven't kept up with the space much since then, so am unaware if there is more recent work.
In any case, there are valid threat models where you want to mitigate website fingerprinting but aren't necessarily concerned with AS-level adversaries.
- trod1234 1y agoI've seen that, but I didn't see much of a mitigation, though I'll go back and recheck just to be sure, I was pressed for time last time I look at that. In fairness, most of big tech are AS-level adversaries at this point. Active attack through BGP-hijacking may be partially mitigated, but this isn't really needed for the most pernicious attacks which are interception/injection from a regional entity that's routing to the broader internet (outbound connections). The same entities can do early transparent encryption termination for outbound connections (to the general web) since they have their own private signing keys tied to root trust CAs (just not the one the valid cert was issued to), and that lets them collect a treasure trove of forensic artifacts to improve their citizen dossier for advertisers/highest-bidder, or inject content that is ephemeral in nature.

Oh I had missed that, thank you btw! Need more of those BGP monitoring systems... (and they performed an actual live BGP attack (not just simulation), neat)
