Abstract

This paper provides the latest information on browser fingerprinting issues in the Dark Web. The data analysis has been initiated, and the latest techniques for browser fingerprinting are included. A comparative analysis between different browser fingerprinting techniques has also been conducted. After analysing the gaps in previous techniques, a better approach has been planned which is explained in part 4. This approach aims to detect illegal forum activities in the Dark Web by using browser fingerprinting methods and to protect innocent users, such as whistle-blowers, from browser fingerprinting attacks. Browser fingerprinting actions do not include sensitive user information, making data analysis possible without ethical issues.

OtherThe 10th IEEE CSDE 2023, the Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Science and Data Engineering 2023, offers an ideal opportunity for researchers, engineers, academics and students from all over the world to bring the latest technological advances and applications in popular computer science and data engineering areas, as well as to network and promote the discipline. Cutting-edge researchers will present keynote speeches during a three-day program featuring tutorials and technical sessions on theory, analysis, design, testing and advances in computer science, data science and data engineering. Scholarships are offered for students to cover the cost of attending the conference and reduced registration fees apply to delegates from UN least developed countries. The papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Digital Library.

This year IEEE CSDE 2023 is being held at the Shangir-La’s Fijian Resort, Yanuca Island, Nadi, Fiji.
