Post-quantum readiness for TLS at Meta

Engineering at Meta

How Meta is enabling PQC Meta’s TLS protocol library, Fizz , is designed for high security, reliability, and performance. The use of our own implementation has allowed us to quickly react to new features in the TLS protocol. This poses some challenges given significant usage of TCP Fast Open (TFO) for internal traffic.

Machine Learning in Action – An In-Depth Look at Identifying Operating Systems Through a TCP/IP Based Model 

CATO Networks

In the previous post , weve discussed how passive OS identification can be done based on different network protocols. In this post, we will focus on the network and transport layers and introduce a machine learning OS identification model based on TCP/IP header values. Figure 4: Building a tree from the data level 1 and level 2.
