  • Present system may employ following one or more technologies, 3 rd parties controls and services, application programming language (APIs), software development toolkit (SDKs), opens standards, framework, database, cloud infrastructure, architecture, system, method, protocols, infrastructure, network, and web services or equivalent for enabling various part(s) of present invention, some of the examples are:
  • the File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
  • FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
  • FTP users may authenticate themselves with a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.
  • FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS).
  • SSL/TLS FTPS
  • SSH File Transfer Protocol SFTP is sometimes also used instead; it is technologically different.
  • HTTP essentially fixes the bugs in FTP that made it inconvenient to use for many small ephemeral transfers as are typical in web pages.
  • FTP has a stateful control connection which maintains a current working directory and other flags, and each transfer requires a secondary connection through which the data are transferred.
  • NAT gateways and is simple for firewalls to manage. Setting up an FTP control connection is quite slow due to the round-trip delays of sending all of the required commands and awaiting responses, so it is customary to bring up a control connection and hold it open for multiple file transfers rather than drop and re-establish the session afresh each time. In contrast, HTTP originally dropped the connection after each transfer because doing so was so cheap. While
  • HTTP has subsequently gained the ability to reuse the TCP connection for multiple transfers, the conceptual model is still of independent requests rather than a session.
  • the control connection is idle. If the transfer takes too long, the firewall or NAT may decide that the control connection is dead and stop tracking it, effectively breaking the connection and confusing the download.
  • the single HTTP connection is only idle between requests and it is normal and expected for such connections to be dropped after a time-out.
  • Most common web browsers can retrieve files hosted on FTP servers, although they may not support protocol extensions such as FTPS.
  • FTP— rather than an HTTP— URL is supplied, the accessible contents on the remote server are presented in a manner that is similar to that used for other web content.
  • HTTP is used to transfer files from a Web server into a browser window to view a Web page that is on the Internet.
  • files are transported only from the server onto the workstation's browser. The files are transferred but not downloaded, therefore not copied into the memory of the workstation.
  • HTTP has been used as a base for many other abstractions such as WWW, REST based API and other web service technologies, this is probably because of the popularity of the internet.
  • pipelining makes asking for multiple files from the same server faster, (automatic) compression makes less data get sent, no command/response flow minimizes extra round-trips.
  • WebDAV is a protocol on top of HTTP that provides "filesystem-like" abilities.
  • HTTP always sends data binary.
  • HTTP provides meta-data with files, Content-Type, which clients use. The metadata can thus be used by clients to interpret the contents accordingly.
  • Transfers with HTTP always also include a set of headers that send meta data. When sending small files, the headers can be a significant part of the amount of actual data transferred.
  • HTTP headers contain info about things such as last modified date, character encoding, server name and version and more.
  • HTTP support resumed transfers in both directions, but HTTP supports more advanced byte ranges.
  • a client can maintain a single connection to a server and just keep using that for any amount of transfers.
  • chunked encoding was introduced in HTTP.
  • the sending party sends a stream of [size-of-data][data] blocks over the wire until there is no more data to send and then it sends a zero-size chunk to signal the end of it.
  • HTTP provides a way for the client and server to negotiate and choose among several compression algorithms.
  • the gzip algorithm being the perhaps most widely used one, with brotli TM being a recent addition that often compresses data even better.
  • HTTP supports ipv6. Using HTTP 1.1, you can easily host many sites on the same server and they are all differentiated by their names. Directory listings over HTTP are usually done either by serving HTML showing the dir contents or by the use of WebDAV which is an additional protocol run "over" or in addition to HTTP.
  • WebDAV Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning
  • HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol
  • WebDAV is defined in RFC 4918 by a working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
  • the WebDAV protocol provides a framework for users to create, change and move documents on a server, typically a web server or web share.
  • the most important features of the WebDAV protocol include the maintenance of properties about an author or modification date, namespace management, collections, and overwrite protection. Maintenance of properties includes such things as the creation, removal, and querying of file information. Namespace management deals with the ability to copy and move web pages within a server's namespace. Collections deal with the creation, removal, and listing of various resources. Lastly, overwrite protection handles aspects related to locking of files.
  • Cuteupload TM is a revolutionary client side file upload & download ActiveX control that runs on Internet Explorer or Windows application, it greatly eases the process of HTTP/HTTP S based file upload, HTTP/HTTP S or FTP based file download.
  • CuteUpload you have better control & verification of file type & size before uploading to the server.
  • XUpload is an advanced client-side ActiveX control to be used in a Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) environment to perform file uploads from a user machine to the web server.
  • IE Microsoft Internet Explorer
  • XUpload TM the user can upload multiple files and even entire folders with a single click of the mouse.
  • the browser looks up the IP address for the domain name - The first step in the navigation is to figure out the IP address for the visited domain.
  • the DNS lookup proceeds as follows: Browser cache - The browser caches DNS records for some time. Interestingly, the OS does not tell the browser the time-to-live for each DNS record, and so the browser caches them for a fixed duration (varies between browsers, 2 - 30 minutes). OS cache - If the browser cache does not contain the desired record, the browser makes a system call (gethostbyname in Windows). The OS has its own cache. Router cache - The request continues on to your router, which typically has its own DNS cache. ISP DNS cache - The next place checked is the cache ISP's DNS server. With a cache, naturally.
  • Recursive search - Your ISP's DNS server begins a recursive search, from the root nameserver, through the .com top-level nameserver, to e.g. ISnapnet's nameserver.
  • the DNS server will have names of the .com nameservers in cache, and so a hit to the root nameserver will not be necessary.
  • the entire domain like wikipedia.org or iSnapnet.com seems to map to a single IP address. Fortunately, there are ways of mitigating the bottleneck: Round-robin DNS is a solution where the DNS lookup returns multiple IP addresses, rather than just one.
  • iSnapnet.com actually maps to four IP addresses.
  • Load-balancer is the piece of hardware that listens on a particular IP address and forwards the requests to other servers.
  • Major sites will typically use expensive high-performance load balancers.
  • Geographic DNS improves scalability by mapping a domain name to different IP addresses, depending on the client's geographic location. This is great for hosting static content so that different servers don't have to update shared state.
  • Anycast is a routing technique where a single IP address maps to multiple physical servers. Unfortunately, anycast does not fit well with TCP and is rarely used in that scenario.
  • the browser sends a HTTP request to the web server - ISnapnet's homepage will not be served from the browser cache because dynamic pages expire either very quickly or immediately (expiry date set to past). So, the browser will send this request to the ISnapnet server:
  • the GET request names the URL to fetch: "http://iSnapnet.com/”.
  • the browser identifies itself (User- Agent header), and states what types of responses it will accept (Accept and Accept- Encoding headers).
  • the Connection header asks the server to keep the TCP connection open for further requests.
  • the request also contains the cookies that the browser has for this domain. Cookies are key-value pairs that track the state of a web site in between different page requests. And so the cookies store the name of the logged-in user, a secret number that was assigned to the user or device to identify all devices related to user by the server, some of user's settings, etc.
  • the cookies will be stored in a text file on the client, and sent to the server with every request.
  • the server responded with a 301 Moved Permanently response to tell the browser to go to "http://www.iSnapnet.com/” instead of "http://iSnapnet.com/”.
  • the server insists on the redirect instead of immediately responding with the web page that the user wants to see.
  • search engine rankings See, if there are two URLs for the same page, say http://www.igoro.com/ and http://igoro.com/, search engine may consider them to be two different sites, each with fewer incoming links and thus a lower ranking. Search engines understand permanent redirects (301), and will combine the incoming links from both sources into a single ranking. Also, multiple URLs for the same content are not cache-friendly. When a piece of content has multiple names, it will potentially appear multiple times in caches.
  • the server 'handles' the request -
  • the server will receive the GET request, process it, and send back a response. This may seem like a straightforward task, but in fact there is a lot of interesting stuff that happens here - even on a simple site like my blog, let alone on a massively scalable site like iSnapnet.
  • Web server software e.g., IIS or Apache
  • a request handler is a program (in ASP.NET, PHP, Ruby, ...) that reads the request and generates the HTML for the response.
  • the request handlers can be stored in a file hierarchy whose structure mirrors the URL structure, and so for example http://example.com/folderl/pagel .aspx URL will map to file /httpdocs/folderl/pagel .aspx.
  • the web server software can also be configured so that URLs are manually mapped to request handlers, and so the public URL of pagel .aspx could be http://example.com/folderl/pagel . (b)
  • Request handler - The request handler reads the request, its parameters, and cookies. It will read and possibly update some data stored on the server. Then, the request handler will generate a
  • HTML response One interesting difficulty that every dynamic website faces is how to store data. Smaller sites will often have a single SOL database to store their data, but sites that store a large amount of data and/or have many visitors have to find a way to split the database across multiple machines. Solutions include sharding (splitting up a table across multiple databases based on the primary key), replication, and usage of simplified databases with weakened consistency semantics.
  • the entire response is 36 kB, the bulk of them in the byte blob at the end that I trimmed.
  • the Content-Encoding header tells the browser that the response body is compressed using the gzip algorithm. After decompressing the blob, you'll see the HTML you'd expect:
  • headers specify whether and how to cache the page, any cookies to set (none in this response), privacy information, etc. Notice the header that sets Content-Type to text/html.
  • the header instructs the browser to render the response content as HTML, instead of say downloading it as a file.
  • the browser will use the header to decide how to interpret the response, but will consider other factors as well, such as the extension of the URL. [8]
  • the browser begins rendering the HTML - Even before the browser has received the entire HTML document, it begins rendering the website:
  • the browser sends requests for objects embedded in HTML - As the browser renders the HTML, it will notice tags that require fetching of other URLs. The browser will send a GET request to retrieve each of these files.
  • a few URLs that my visit to iSnapnet.com retrieved: Images (e.g. http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zl2E0/hash/8q2anwu7.gif, http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zBS5C/hash/7hwy7at6.gif), CSS style sheets - (e.g. http://static. ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.
  • the browser will look up the domain name in DNS, send a request to the URL, follow redirects, etc.
  • static files - unlike dynamic pages - allow the browser to cache them.
  • Some of the files may be served up from cache, without contacting the server at all.
  • the browser knows how long to cache a particular file because the response that returned the file contained an Expires header. Additionally, each response may also contain an ETag header that works like a version number - if the browser sees an ETag for a version of the file it already has, it can stop the transfer immediately.
  • the browser sends further asynchronous (AJAX) requests - Web 2.0, the client continues to communicate with the server even after the page is rendered.
  • AJAX asynchronous
  • the asynchronous request is a programmatically constructed GET or POST request that goes to a special URL.
  • the client sends a POST request to http://www.iSnapnet.com/ajax/chat/buddy_list.php to fetch the list of your friends who are online.
  • AJAX' which stands for "Asynchronous JavaScript And XML"
  • AJAX returns snippets of JavaScript code in response to asynchronous requests.
  • ISnapnet chat provides an example of an interesting problem with AJAX: pushing data from server to client. Since HTTP is a request-response protocol, the chat server cannot push new messages to the client. Instead, the client has to poll the server every few seconds to see if any new messages arrived. Long polling is an interesting technique to decrease the load on the server in these types of scenarios. If the server does not have any new messages when polled, it simply does not send a response back. And, if a message for this client is received within the timeout period, the server will find the outstanding request and return the message with the response.
  • a cookie is a piece of text that a Web server can store on a user's hard disk. Cookies allow a Web site to store information on a user's machine and later retrieve it. The pieces of information are stored as name-value pairs. For example, a Web site might generate a unique ID number for each visitor and store the ID number on each user's machine using a cookie file.

  • Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP also known as MPEG-DASH
  • MPEG-DASH is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high quality streaming of media content over the Internet delivered from conventional HTTP web servers. Similar to Apple's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) solution, MPEG-DASH works by breaking the content into a sequence of small HTTP -based file segments, each segment containing a short interval of playback time of content that is potentially many hours in duration, such as a movie or the live broadcast of a sports event. The content is made available at a variety of different bit rates, i.e., alternative segments encoded at different bit rates covering aligned short intervals of play back time are made available.
  • HLS HTTP Live Streaming
  • an MPEG-DASH client While the content is being played back by an MPEG-DASH client, the client automatically selects from the alternatives the next segment to download and play back based on current network conditions. The client selects the segment with the highest bit rate possible that can be downloaded in time for play back without causing stalls or re-buffering events in the playback. Thus, an MPEG-DASH client can seamlessly adapt to changing network conditions, and provide high quality play back with fewer stalls or re-buffering events.
  • MPEG-DASH is the first adaptive bit-rate HTTP -based streaming solution that is an international standard.
  • MPEG-DASH should not be confused with a transport protocol— the transport protocol that MPEG-DASH uses is TCP.
  • MPEG-DASH uses existing HTTP web server infrastructure that is used for delivery of essentially all World Wide Web content. It allows devices like Internet-connected televisions, TV set-top boxes, desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. to consume multimedia content (video, TV, radio, etc.) delivered via the Internet, coping with variable Internet receiving conditions. Standardizing an adaptive streaming solution is meant to provide confidence to the market that the solution can be adopted for universal deployment, compared to similar but more proprietary solutions like Smooth Streaming by Microsoft, or HDS by Adobe.
  • DASH is codec-agnostic, which means it can use content encoded with any coding format like H.265, H.264, VP9 etc.
  • Dash.js is an initiative of the DASH Industry Forum to establish a production quality framework for building video and audio players that play back MPEG-DASH content using client-side JavaScript libraries leveraging the Media Source Extensions API set as defined by the W3C.
  • the core objectives of this project are to build an open source JavaScript library for the playback of DASH which: Is robust in a real-world production environment, Has the best performing adaption algorithms, Is free for commercial use, Is both codec and browser agnostic, Implements best practices in the playback of MPEG DASH.
  • DASH Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
  • it is a technology that can break up video content into smaller HTTP packages and allow a client to download only the ones needed for immediate playback.
  • the DASH client downloads the video stream data and sends it to the video player, the subsequent HTTP packages are automatically fetched, ignoring content that has been skipped by the user. Since DASH-encoded video streams are available at different bitrates (quality), a DASH client will always try to download the highest quality package first, and if the network conditions prevent it, it will fall back to lower resolution streams.

  • a server-side dynamic web page is a web page whose construction is controlled by an application server processing server-side scripts. In server-side scripting, parameters determine how the assembly of every new web page proceeds, including the setting up of more client-side processing.
  • a client-side dynamic web page processes the web page using HTML scripting running in the browser as it loads. JavaScript and other scripting languages determine the way the HTML in the received page is parsed into the Document Object Model, or DOM, that represents the loaded web page.
  • a dynamic web page is then reloaded by the user or by a computer program to change some variable content.
  • the updating information could come from the server, or from changes made to that page's DOM. This may or may not truncate the browsing history or create a saved version to so back to. but a dynamic web page update using Ajax technologies will neither create a page to go back to, nor truncate the web browsing history forward of the displayed page.

  • DHTML is the umbrella term for technologies and methods used to create web pages that are not static web pages.
  • Client-side-scripting, server-side scripting, or a combination of these make for the dynamic web experience in a browser.
  • Dynamic web page can provide a "live”, “dynamic", or "interactive" user experience.
  • Content (text, images, form fields, etc.) on a web page can change, in response to different contexts or conditions.
  • There are two ways to create this kind of effect Using client-side scripting to change interface behaviors within a specific web page, in response to mouse or keyboard actions or at specified timing events. In this case the dynamic behavior occurs within the presentation.
  • server-side scripting to change the supplied page source between pages, adjusting the sequence or reload of the web pages or web content supplied to the browser.
  • Server responses may be determined by such conditions as data in a posted HTML form, parameters in the URL, the type of browser being used, the passage of time, or a database or server state.
  • Web pages that use client-side scripting must use presentation technology broadly called rich interfaced pages.
  • Client-side scripting languages like JavaScript or ActionScript, used for Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and Flash technologies respectively, are frequently used to orchestrate media types (sound, animations, changing text, etc.) of the presentation.
  • the scripting also allows use of remote scripting, a technique by which the DHTML page requests additional information from a server, using a hidden Frame, XMLHttpRequests, or a web service.
  • Web pages that use server- side scripting are often created with the help of server-side languages such as PHP, Perl, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, ColdFusion and other languages. These server-side languages typically use the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to produce dynamic web pages. These kinds of pages can also use, on the client-side, the first kind (DHTML, etc.). All of the client and server components that collectively build a dynamic web page are called a web application.
  • Web applications manage user interactions, state, security, and performance.
  • Ajax uses a combination of both client-side scripting and server-side requests. It is a web application development technique for dynamically interchanging content, and it sends requests to the server for data in order to do so.
  • the server returns the requested data which is then processed by a client-side script.
  • This technique can reduce server load time because the client does not request the entire webpage to be regenerated by the server's language parser; only the content that will change is transmitted.
  • Google Maps is an example of a web application that uses Ajax techniques.
  • a web client such as a web browser, can act as its own server, accessing data from many different servers, such as Gopher, FTP, NNTP (Usenet) and HTTP, to build a page.

  • a server In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called “clients”. This architecture is called the client-server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices. Servers can provide various functionalities, often called “services”, such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client. A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers. A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
  • Client-server systems are today most frequently implemented by (and often identified with) the request-response model: a client sends a request to the server, which performs some action and sends a response back to the client, typically with a result or acknowledgement.
  • Designating a computer as "server-class hardware" implies that it is specialized for running servers on it. This often implies that it is more powerful and reliable than standard personal computers, but alternatively, large computing clusters may be composed of many relatively simple, replaceable server components.
  • Application server Hosts web apps (computer programs that run inside a web browser) allowing users in the network to run and use them, without having to install a copy on their own computers. Unlike what the name might imply, these servers need not be part of the world wide web; any local network would do.

While the primary function is to serve content, a full implementation of HTTP also includes wavs of receiving content from clients. This feature is used for submitting web forms, including uploading of files.
  • Many generic web servers also support server-side scripting using Active Server Pages (ASP), PHP, or other scripting languages. This means that the behavior of the web server can be scripted in separate files, while the actual server software remains unchanged.

  • Dynamic sites can be interactive by using HTML forms, storing and reading back browser cookies, or by creating a series of pages that reflect the previous history of clicks.
  • Another example of dynamic content is when a retail website with a database of media products allows a user to input a search request, e.g. for the keyword Beatles. In response, the content of the web page will spontaneously change the way it looked before, and will then display a list of Beatles products like CDs, DVDs and books.

  • An emerging strategy for application software companies is to provide web access to software previously distributed as local applications. Depending on the type of application, it may require the development of an entirely different browser-based interface, or merely adapting an existing application to use different presentation technology. These programs allow the user to pay a monthly or yearly fee for use of a software application without having to install it on a local hard drive.

  • Page Time Viewed / Page Visibility Time / Page View Duration The time a single page (or a blog, Ad Banner%) is on the screen, measured as the calculated difference between the time of the request for that page and the time of the next recorded request. If there is no next recorded request, then the viewing time of that instance of that page is not included in reports, Session Duration / Visit Duration - Average amount of time that visitors spend on the site each time they visit. It is calculated as the sum total of the duration of all the sessions divided by the total number of sessions.
  • This metric can be complicated by the fact that analytics programs cannot measure the length of the final page view, Average Page View Duration - Average amount of time that visitors spend on an average page of the site, Active Time / Engagement Time - Average amount of time that visitors spend actually interacting with content on a web page, based on mouse moves, clicks, hovers and scrolls.
  • Average Page Depth / Page Views per Average Session - Page Depth is the approximate "size" of an average visit, calculated by dividing total number of page views by total number of visits, Frequency / Session per Unique - Frequency measures how often visitors come to a website in a given time period.

  • Mobile web analytics refers to the use of data collected as visitors' access a website from a mobile phone.
  • Data collected as part of mobile analytics typically includes page views, visits, visitors, and countries, as well as information specific to mobile devices, such as device model, manufacturer, screen resolution, device capabilities, service provider, and preferred user language.
  • Visitor identification is the most important aspect of usable mobile web analytics and one of the hardest technical aspects to accomplish, primarily because JavaScript and HTTP cookies are so unreliable on mobile browsers. As a result, some mobile web analytics solutions only detect or count user visits per day. The best solutions provide reliable, persistent, and unique user identities, allowing accurate measurement of repeat visits and long-term customer loyalty.

It is the only reliable way to record clicks from advertising, search, and other marketing activities. It also records visitors clicking on links to leave a site. This method helps address the lack of HTTP referrer information on mobile. HTTP header analysis. This tells you a number of basic facts about the mobile phone and the browser.
  • IP address analysis An operator database is used to identify operators and their countries based on the IP addresses of their internet gateway devices. IP addresses alone do not identify all operators and countries, as some operators share their mobile networks with virtual network operators (MVNO). Boost Wireless, for example, uses the Sprint network. Because these two operators have very different customer demographics, clear differentiation between operators is critical for good mobile marketing campaigns. Carriers may also share their mobile internet gateways, sometimes across multiple countries, and many change or add gateways on a regular basis.

  • Other metrics used within research and applied web analytics include session length, and user actions per session. Session length is seen as a more accurate alternative to measuring page views.
  • the HTTP referrer is an HTTP header field that identifies the address of the webpage (i.e. the URI or IRI) that linked to the resource being requested. By checking the referrer, the new webpage can see where the request originated. In the most common situation this means that when a user clicks a hyperlink in a web browser, the browser sends a request to the server holding the destination webpage.

  • An API specification can take many forms, but often includes specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, variables or remote calls.
  • POSrX, Microsoft Windows API, the C++ Standard Template Library and Java APIs are examples of different forms of APIs. Documentation for the API is usually provided to facilitate usage.
  • an API simplifies programming. While a graphical interface for an email client might provide a user with a button that performs all the steps for fetching and highlighting new emails, an API for file input/output might give the developer a function that copies a file from one location to another without requiring that the developer understand the file system operations occurring behind the scenes.
  • Remote APIs allow developers to manipulate remote resources through protocols, specific standards for communication that allow different technologies to work together, regardless of language or platform.
  • the Java Database Connectivity API allows developers to query many different types of databases with the same set of functions, while the Java remote method invocation API uses the Java Remote Method Protocol to allow invocation of functions that operate remotely, but appear local to the developer. Therefore, remote APIs are useful in maintaining the object abstraction in object-oriented programming; a method call, executed locally on a proxy object, invokes the corresponding method on the remote object, using the remoting protocol, and acquires the result to be used locally as return value. A modification on the proxy object will also result in a corresponding modification on the remote object.

  • the Signal Protocol library TM is Open Source, available here: https://github.com/whispersystems/libsignal- protocol-java/ Present invention may employ the Brotli TM, a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. Brotli TM is open source and is an entirely new data format that offers 20-26 percent greater compression than Zopfli TM.
  • Brotli TM has been designed with the internet in mind, with the simple aim of making web pages load faster. While compression has endless uses online, it's something that is of particular interest to mobile users. The technology may be integrated into web browsers, allowing for faster page load times, improvements to battery life, and lower data usage. Modern web pages can often be made up of dozens of megabytes of HTML, CSS, and JavaScriot. and that's before accounting for images, videos, or other large file content, which all makes for hefty downloads. Such loads are why pages are transferred in compressed formats; they significantly reduce the time required between a website visitor requesting a web page and that page appearing fully loaded on the screen and ready for use.
  • web tracking refers to the process of calculating or assigning unique and reasonably stable identifiers to each browser that visits a website. In most cases, this is done for the purpose of correlating future visits from the same person or machine with historical data.

  • client-side identifiers such as HTTP cookies
  • inherent client device characteristics that identify a particular machine
  • measurable user behaviors and preferences may reveal the identity of the person behind the keyboard (or touchscreen).
  • the canonical approach to identifying clients across HTTP requests is to store a unique, long- lived token on the client and to programmatically retrieve it on subsequent visits.
  • Modern browsers offer a multitude of ways to achieve this goal, including but not limited to: Plain old HTTP cookies, Cookie-equivalent plugin features - most notably, Flash Local Shared Objects and Silverlight Isolated Storage, HTML5 client storage mechanisms, including localStorage, File, and IndexedDB APIs, Unique markers stored within locally cached resources or in cache metadata - e.g., Last-Modified and ETag, Fingerprints derived from browser-generated Origin- Bound Certificates for SSL connections, Bits encoded in HTTP Strict Transport Security pin lists across several attacker-controlled host names, Data encoded in SDCH compression dictionaries and dictionary metadata and one or more types of others
  • HTTP cookies are the most familiar and best-understood method for persisting data on the client. In essence, any web server may issue unique identifiers to first-time visitors as a part of a HTTP response, and have the browser play back the stored values on all future requests to a particular site.
  • Flash LSOsp Local Shared Objects are the canonical way to store client-side data within Adobe Flash.
  • the mechanism is designed to be a direct counterpart to HTTP cookies, offering a convenient way to maintain session identifiers and other application state on a per-origin basis.
  • LSOs can be also used for structured storage of data other than short snippets of text, making such objects more difficult to inspect and analyze in a streamlined way.
  • the behavior of LSOs within the Flash plugin had to be configured separately from any browser privacy settings, by visiting a lesser -known Flash Settings Manager UI hosted on macromedia.com (standalone installs of Flash 10.3 and above supplanted this with a Control Panel / System Preferences dialog available locally on the machine).
  • Silverlight Isolated Storage Microsoft Silverlight is a widely-deployed applet framework bearing many similarities to Adobe Flash. The Silverlight equivalent of Flash LSOs is known as Isolated Storage. The privacy settings in Silverlight are typically not coupled to the underlying browser. In our testing, values stored in Isolated Storage survive clearing cache and site data in Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox. Perhaps more surprisingly, Isolated Storage also appears to be shared between all non-incognito browser windows and browser profiles installed on the same machine; this may have consequences for users who rely on separate browser instances to maintain distinct online identities. As with LSOs, reliance on Isolated Storage to store session identifiers and similar state information does not present issues from a purely technical standpoint.
  • HTML5 client-side storage mechanisms HTML5 introduces a range of structured data storage mechanisms on the client; this includes localStorage, the File API, and IndexedDB. Although semantically different from each other, all of them are designed to allow persistent storage of arbitrary blobs of binary data tied to a particular web origin. In contrast to cookies and LSOs, there are no significant size restrictions on the data stored with these APIs. In modern browsers, HTML5 storage is usually purged alongside other site data, but the mapping to browser settings isn't necessarily obvious.
  • Firefox will retain localStorage data unless the user selects "offline website data" or "site preferences" in the deletion dialog and specifies the time range as "everything" (this is not the default).
  • Another idiosyncrasy is the behavior of Internet Explorer, where the data is retained for the lifetime of a tab for any sites that are open at the time the operation takes place. Beyond that, the mechanisms do not always appear to follow the restrictions on persistence that apply to HTTP cookies. For example, in Firefox, localStorage can be written and read in cross-domain frames even if third-party cookies are disabled. Cached objects: For performance reasons, all mainstream web browsers maintain a global cache of previously retrieved HTTP resources.
  • this unique identifier is stored within a script subresource in the browser cache, the ID can be read back on any page on the Internet simply by loading the script from a known URL and monitoring the agreed-upon local variable or setting up a predefined callback function in JavaScript.
  • the browser will periodically check for newer copies of the script by issuing a conditional request to the originating server with a suitable If-Modified-Since header; but if the server consistently responds to such check with HTTP code 304 ("Not modified"), the old copy will continue to be reused indefinitely.
  • HTTP code 304 "Not modified"
  • Cache metadata ETag and Last-Modified: To make implicit browser-level document caching work properly, servers must have a way to notify browsers that a newer version of a particular document is available for retrieval.
  • the HTTP/1.1 standard specifies two methods of document versioning: one based on the date of the most recent modification, and another based on an abstract, opaque identifier known as ETag. In the ETag scheme, the server initially returns an opaque "version tag" string in a response header alongside with the actual document.
  • the client On subsequent conditional requests to the same URL, the client echoes back the value associated with the copy it already has, through an If-None-Match header; if the version specified in this header is still current, the server will respond with HTTP code 304 ("Not Modified") and the client is free to reuse the cached document. Otherwise, a new document with a new ETag will follow.
  • the behavior of the ETag header closely mimics that of HTTP cookies: the server can store an arbitrary, persistent value on the client, only to read it back later on. This observation and its potential applications for browser tracking date back at least to 2000.
  • Last-Modified suffers from the same issue: servers can store at least 32 bits of data within a well-formed date string, which will then be echoed back by the client through a request header known as If-Modified-Since. (In practice, most browsers don't even require the string to be a well-formed date to begin with.). Similarly to tagging users through cache objects, both of these "metadata" mechanisms are unaffected by the deletion of cookies and related site data; the tags can be destroyed only by purging the browser cache.
  • HTML5 AppCache Application Caches allow website authors to specify that portions of their websites should be stored on the disk and made available even if the user is offline. The mechanism is controlled by cache manifests that outline the rules for storing and retrieving cache items within the app. Similarly to implicit browser caching, AppCaches make it possible to store unique, user-dependent data - be it inside the cache manifest itself, or inside the resources it requests. The resources are retained indefinitely and not subject to the browser's usual cache eviction policies. AppCache appears to occupy a netherworld between HTML5 storage mechanisms and the implicit browser cache. In some browsers, it is purged along with cookies and stored website data; in others, it is discarded only if the user opts to delete the browsing history and all cached documents. AppCache is likely to be succeeded with Service Workers; the privacy properties of both mechanisms are likely to be comparable.

  • Caches do not appear to be coupled to any browser privacy settings and can only be deleted by making several independent configuration changes in the Flash Settings Manager UI on macromedia.com. Browsers other than Chrome appear to share Flash asset data across all installations and in private browsing modes, which may have consequences for users who rely on separate browser instances to maintain distinct online identities.
  • SDCH is a Google TM-developed compression algorithm that relies on the use of server-supplied, cacheable dictionaries to achieve compression rates considerably higher than what's possible with methods such as gzip or deflate for several common classes of documents.
  • the site-specific dictionary caching behavior at the core of SDCH inevitably offers an opportunity for storing unique identifiers on the client: both the dictionary IDs (echoed back by the client using the Avail-Dictionary header), and the contents of the dictionaries themselves, can be used for this purpose, in a manner very similar to the regular browser cache.
  • window.name or sessionStorage to store persistent identifiers for a given window: if a user deletes all client state but does not close a tab that at some point in the past displayed a site determined to track the browser, re-navigation to any participating domain will allow the window-bound token to be retrieved and the new session to be associated with the previously collected data.
  • active JavaScript any currently open JavaScript context is allowed to retain state even if the user attempts to delete local site data; this can be done not only by the top-level sites open in the currently-viewed tabs, but also by "hidden" contexts such as HTML frames, web workers, and pop-unders.
  • Origin Bound Certificates are persistent self- signed certificates identifying the client to an HTTPS server, envisioned as the future of session management on the web. A separate certificate is generated for every newly encountered domain and reused for all connections initiated later on.
  • OBCs function as unique and stable client fingerprints, essentially replicating the operation of authentication cookies; they are treated as "site and plug-in data" in Chrome, and can be removed along with cookies.
  • the ID can be derived simply by taking note of the cryptographic hash of the certificate automatically supplied by the client as a part of a legitimate SSL handshake.
  • ChannellD is currently suppressed in Chrome in "third-party" scenarios (e.g., for different-domain frames),
  • the set of supported ciphersuites can be used to fingerprint a TLS/SSL handshake.
  • two separate mechanisms within TLS - session identifiers and session tickets - allow clients to resume previously terminated HTTPS connections without completing a full handshake; this is accomplished by reusing previously cached data.
  • These session resumption protocols provide a way for servers to identify subsequent requests originating from the same client for a short period of time, HTTP Strict
  • Transport Security is a security mechanism that allows servers to demand that all future connections to a particular host name need to happen exclusively over HTTPS, even if the original URL nominally begins with "http://”. It follows that a fingerprinting server could set long-lived HSTS headers for a distinctive set of attacker-controlled host names for each newly encountered browser; this information could be then retrieved by loading faux (but possibly legitimately-looking) subresources from all the designated host names and seeing which of the connections are automatically switched to HTTPS. In an attempt to balance security and privacy, any HSTS pins set during normal browsing are carried over to the incognito mode in Chrome; there is no propagation in the opposite direction, however.
  • Machine-specific characteristics to unique identifier on the client system Another, less obvious approach to web tracking relies on querying or indirectly measuring the inherent characteristics of the client system. Individually, each such signal will reveal just several bits of information - but when combined together, it seems probable that they may uniquely identify almost any computer on the Internet. In addition to being harder to detect or stop, such techniques could be used to cross-correlate user activity across various browser profiles or private browsing sessions. Furthermore, because the techniques are conceptually very distant from HTTP cookies, it difficult to decide how, if at all, the existing cookie-centric privacy controls in the browser should be used to govern such practices. EFF Panopticlick is one of the most prominent experiments demonstrating the principle of combining low-value signals into a high-accuracy fingerprint; there is also some evidence of sophisticated passive fingerprints being used by commercial tracking services.
  • Browser-level fingerprints The most straightforward approach to fingerprinting is to construct identifiers by actively and explicitly combining a range of individually non-identifying signals available within the browser environment:
  • User-Agent string identifying the browser version, OS version, and some of the installed browser add-ons.
  • browser versions can be usually inferred very accuratelv bv examining the structure of other headers and by testing for the availability and semantics of the features introduced or modified between releases of a particular browser.
  • Clock skew and drift unless synchronized with an external time source, most systems exhibit clock drift that, over time, produces a fairly unique time offset for every machine. Such offsets can be measured with microsecond precision using JavaScript. In fact, even in the case of NTP-synchronized clocks, ppm-level skews may be possible to measure remotely.
  • Fairly fine-grained information about the underlying CPU and GPU either as exposed directly (GL RE DERER) or as measured by executing Javascript benchmarks and testing for driver- or GPU-specific differences in WebGL rendering or the application of ICC color profiles to ⁇ canvas> data.
  • Screen and browser window resolutions including parameters of secondary displays for multi-monitor users.
  • the window-manager- and addon-specific "thickness" of the browser UI in various settings (e.g., window. outerHeight - window.innerHeight).
  • Network configuration fingerprints An interesting set of additional device characteristics is associated with the architecture of the local network and the configuration of lower -level network protocols; such signals are disclosed independently of the design of the web browser itself. These traits covered here are generally shared between all browsers on a given client and cannot be easily altered by common privacy-enhancing tools or practices; they include: The external client IP address. For IPv6 addresses, this vector is even more interesting: in some settings, the last octets may be derived from the device's MAC address and preserved across networks. A broad range of TCP/IP and TLS stack fingerprints, obtained with passive tools such as pOf The information disclosed on this level is often surprisingly specific: for example, TCP/IP traffic will often reveal high-resolution system uptime data through TCP timestamps.
  • Ephemeral source port numbers for outgoing TCP/IP connections generally selected sequentially by most operating systems.
  • the local network IP address for users behind network address translation or HTTP proxies (via WebRTC).
  • HTTP proxies via WebRTC
  • internal NAT IP uniquely identifies most users, and is generally stable for desktop browsers (due to the tendency for DHCP clients and servers to cache leases).
  • Information about proxies used by the client, as detected from the presence of extra HTTP headers (Via, X-Forwarded-For). This can be combined with the client's actual IP address revealed when making proxy-bypassing connections using one of several available methods. With active probing, the list of open ports on the local host indicating other installed software and firewall settings on the system. Unruly actors may also be tempted to probe the systems and services in the visitor's local network; doing so directly within the browser will circumvent any firewalls that normally filter out unwanted incoming traffic.
  • the following data is typically open to examination: Preferred language, default character encoding, and local time zone (sent in HTTP headers and visible to JavaScript).
  • Data in the client cache and history It is possible to detect items in the client's cache by performing simple timing attacks; for any long-lived cache items associated with popular destinations on the Internet, a fingerprinter could detect their presence simply by measuring how quickly they load (and by aborting the navigation if the latency is greater than expected for local cache). (It is also possible to directly extract URLs stored in the browsing history, although such an attack requires some user interaction in modern browsers.).
  • Mouse gesture, keystroke timing and velocity patterns, and accelerometer readings (ondeviceorientation) that is unique to a particular user or to particular surroundings.
  • user fingerprinting can be accomplished by interacting with third-party services through the user's browser, using the ambient credentials (HTTP cookies) maintained by the browser:

  • Users logged into websites that offer collaboration features can be de-anonymized by covertly instructing their browser to navigate to a set of distinctively ACLed resources and then examining which of these navigation attempts result in a new collaborator showing up in the UI.
  • Request timing, onerror and onload handlers, and similar measurement techniques can be used to detect which third-party resources return HTTP 403 error codes in the user's browser, thus constructing an accurate picture of which sites the user is logged in; in some cases, finer-grained insights into user settings or preferences on the site can be obtained, too.
