| contents | There are many approaches in mobile data ecosystem that inspect network traffic generated by applications running on user's device to detect personal data exfiltration from the user's device. State-of-the-art methods rely on features extracted from HTTP requests and in this context, machine learning involves training classifiers on these features and making predictions using labelled packet traces. However, most of these methods include external feature selection before model training. Deep learning, on the other hand, typically does not require such techniques, as it can autonomously learn and identify patterns in the data without external feature extraction or selection algorithms. In this article, we propose a novel deep learning based end-to-end learning framework for prediction of exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) in mobile packets. The framework employs a pre-trained large language model (LLM) and an autoencoder to generate embedding of network packets and then uses a triplet-loss based fine-tuning method to train the model, increasing detection effectiveness using two real-world datasets. We compare our proposed detection framework with other state-of-the-art works in detecting PII leaks from user's device. |
