The Colossus with Feet of Clay: Debunking Encrypted Traffic Classifiers under PQC Evolution
Encrypted traffic classifiers often achieve high accuracy under matched training and testing conditions, implicitly assuming that deployment traffic follows the training distribution. TLS migration toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) challenges this assumption because hybrid key establishment can reshape observable...
