       Guidelines for Performing Safe Measurement on the Internet
             draft-irtf-pearg-safe-internet-measurement-09

Abstract

   Internet measurement is important to researchers from industry,
   academia and civil society.  While measurement of the internet can
   give insight into the functioning and usage of the internet, it can
   present risks to user privacy and safety.  This document describes
   briefly those risks and proposes guidelines for ensuring that
   internet measurements can be carried out safely, with examples.

1.  Introduction

   Measurement of the internet provides important insights and is a
   growing area of research.  Similarly, the internet plays a role in
   enhancing research methods of different kinds.

   Performing research using the internet, as opposed to an isolated
   testbed or simulation platform, means that experiments co-exist in a
   space with other services and end users.  Furthermore privacy

   considerations are of particular importance in internet measurement
   research that depends on collaboration and data sharing models
   between industry and academia[caida].

   This document outlines guidelines for academic, industry and civil
   society researchers who might use the internet as part of scientific
   experimentation to mitigate risks to the safety of users.

1.1.  Scope of this document

   These are guidelines for how to measure the internet safely.  When
   performing research on a platform shared with live traffic from other
   users, that research is considered safe if and only if other users
   are protected from or unlikely to experience danger, risk, or injury
   arising due to the research, now or in the future.

   Following the guidelines contained within this document is not a
   substitute for institutional ethics review processes, although these
   guidelines could help to inform that process.  It is particularly
   important for the growing area of research that includes internet
   measurement to better equip review boards to evaluate internet
   measurement methods [SIGCOMM], and we hope that this document is part
   of that larger effort.

   Similarly, these guidelines are not legal advice and local laws must
   also be considered before starting any experiment that could have
   adverse impacts on user safety.

   The scope of this document is restricted to guidelines that mitigate
   exposure to risks to user safety when measuring properties of the
   internet: the network, its constituent hosts and links, or user
   traffic.

1.2.  Terminology

   Threat model: A threat is a potential for a security violation, which
   exists when there is a circumstance, capability, action, or event
   that could breach security and cause harm [RFC4949].

   User: For the purpose of this document, an internet user is an
   individual or organisation whose data is used in communications over
   the internet, most broadly, and those who use the internet to
   communicate or maintain internet infrastructure.

   Active measurement: Active measurements generate or modify traffic.

   Passive measurement: Passive measurements involve the observation of
   existing traffic without active intervention.



Learmonth, et al.         Expires 15 July 2024                  [Page 3]

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   On/off-path: A measurement that is on-path happens on the network.
   Off-path indicates activity in a side-channel, end-point or at other
   points where the user, their connection, or their data can be
   accessed.

   One-/two-ended: A single-ended measurement is like a probe or a
   trace, whereas a measurement with two-ended control provides more
   accuracy but requires the cooperation of both endpoints, which might
   include the network itself if that is the measurement target.

1.3.  User impact from measurement studies

   Any conceivable internet measurement study might have an impact on an
   internet user's safety.  The measurement of generated traffic may
   also lead to insights into other users' traffic indirectly as well.
   It is always necessary to consider the best approach to mitigate the
   impact of measurements, and to balance the risks of measurements
   against the benefits to impacted users.

   Some possible ways in which users can be affected as a result of an
   internet measurement study:

   Breach of privacy: User privacy can be violated in the context of
   data collection.  This impact also covers the case of an internet
   user's data being shared beyond that for which a user had given
   consent.  First-order data that distinguishes a person such as name,
   as well as second-order data that can be used to track behaviour such
   as IP address, should be considered[Kenneally]

   Inadequate data protection: A scenario where data, either in transit
   or at rest, lacks sufficient protection from disclosure.  Failure to
   meet user expectations for data protection is a concern, even if it
   does not result in unauthorized access to the data.  This includes
   cases of improper access control (i.e. people having access to user
   data who do not need it).

   Traffic generation: A scenario where undue traffic is generated to
   traverse the internet.

   Traffic modification: A scenario where users' on-path internet
   traffic is nonconsensually modified.

   Impersonation: A scenario where a user is impersonated during a
   measurement.

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   Legal: Users and service providers are bound by a wide range of
   policies from Terms of Service to rule of law, each according to
   context and jurisdiction.  A measurement study may violate these
   policies, and the consequences of such a violation may be severe.

   Unavailability: Users or other entities may rely on the information
   or systems that are involved in the research and they may be harmed
   by unexpected or planned unavailability of that information or
   systems[Menlo].

   System or data corruption: A scenario where generated or modified
   traffic causes the corruption of a system.  This covers cases where a
   user's data may be lost or corrupted, and cases where a user's access
   to a system may be affected as a result.

   Emotional trauma: A scenario where a measurement of or exposure to
   content or behaviour in an internet measurement study causes a user
   emotional or psychological harm.

2.  Guidelines

2.1.  Attribute

   Proactively identify your measurement to others on the network.
   "This allows any party or organization to understand what an
   unsolicited probe packet is, what its purpose is, and, most
   importantly, who to contact."[RFC9511]

   Example: For a layer 3 IP packet probe you could mark measurements
   with a probe description URI as defined in RFC9511.

2.2.  Obtain consent

   Accountability and transparency are fundamentally related to consent.
   As per the Menlo Report, "Accountability demands that research
   methodology, ethical evaluations, data collected, and results
   generated should be documented and made available responsibly in
   accordance with balancing risks and benefits."[Menlo] A user is best
   placed to balance the risks and benefits for themselves therefore
   consent must be obtained.  From most transparent to least, there are
   a few options for obtaining consent.

2.2.1.  Informed consent

   Informed consent should be collected from all users that may be
   placed at risk by an experiment.





Learmonth, et al.         Expires 15 July 2024                  [Page 5]

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   For consent to be informed, a reasonable coverage of possible risks
   must be presented to the users.  The considerations in this document
   can be used to provide a starting point although other risks may be
   present depending on the nature of the measurements to be performed.
   In addition, it should be clear from the consent language who the
   asker is, and what the terms of data observation and/or collection
   are.

   Example: A researcher would like to use volunteer-owned mobile
   devices to collect information about local internet censorship.
   Connections will be attempted by the volunteer's device with services
   and content known or suspected to be subject to censorship orders.

   This experiment can carry substantial risk for the user depending on
   their specific circumstances.  Trying to access censored material can
   be seen as (network) policy infringement or breaking laws.
   Consequences can range from disciplinary action from their employer
   to arrest or imprisonment by government authorities.  If the
   experimenter wants to expose volunteers to this kind of risk, users
   must be fully informed, and voluntarily give consent to run the
   measurement.  Even then, experimenters should seriously consider
   designing their experiment in another way.

   Note that informed consent is notoriously tricky to obtain.
   Conveying all possible risks of a measurement is often simply
   impractical, depending upon how technical the user audience is, the
   context of the consent prompt, what the tool is normally used by
   users for, etc.  In addition, consent can have network effects.  For
   example, asking a user to consent to sharing information about their
   communication with others can have impacts on users who have not
   personally consented to the study.

2.2.2.  Proxy consent

   In cases where it is not practical to collect informed consent from
   all users of a shared network, it may be possible to obtain proxy
   consent.  Proxy consent may be given by a network operator or
   employer that would be more familiar with the expectations of users
   of a network than the researcher.

   In some cases, a network operator or employer may have terms of
   service that specifically allow for giving consent to third parties
   to perform certain experiments.

   Example: Some researchers would like to perform a packet capture to
   determine the TCP options and their values used by all client devices
   on a corporate wireless network.




Learmonth, et al.         Expires 15 July 2024                  [Page 6]

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   The employer may already have terms of service laid out that allow
   them to provide proxy consent for this experiment on behalf of the
   employees, in this case the users of the network.  The purpose of the
   experiment may affect whether or not they are able to provide this
   consent.  Say, performing engineering work on the network may be
   allowed, whereas academic research may not be already covered.

   Example: A research project looks at networked "things", yet users'
   only interface with the network is through a device that does not
   provide interaction to the degree that would be sufficient to obtain
   informed consent at time of use.

   However in this case the user can be informed of the use of data for
   internet measurement research in the device's terms of use and
   privacy notice, which can be included in a printed, physical manual
   for the device or accessed at any time via a webpage.  These are
   examples of proxy consent such that the device manufacturer may
   choose to share data under certain specified conditions, or to
   conduct their own measurements.

2.2.3.  Implied consent

   In larger scale measurements, even proxy consent collection may not
   be practical.  In this case, implied consent may be presumed from
   users for some measurements.  Consider that users of a network will
   have certain expectations of privacy and those expectations may not
   align with the privacy guarantees offered by the technologies they
   are using.  As a thought experiment, consider how users might respond
   if asked for their informed consent for the measurements you'd like
   to perform.

   Implied consent should not be considered sufficient for any
   experiment that may collect sensitive or personally identifying
   information.  If practical, attempt to obtain informed consent or
   proxy consent from a sample of users to better understand the
   expectations of other users.

   Example: A researcher would like to run a measurement campaign to
   determine the maximum supported TLS version on popular web servers.

   The operator of a web server that is exposed to the internet hosting
   a popular website would have the expectation that it may be included
   in surveys that look at supported protocols or extensions but would
   not expect that attempts be made to degrade the service with large
   numbers of simultaneous connections.

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   Example: A researcher would like to perform A/B testing for protocol
   feature and how it affects web performance.  They have created two
   versions of their software and have instrumented both to report
   telemetry back.  These updates will be pushed to users at random by
   the software's auto-update framework.  The telemetry consists only of
   performance metrics and does not contain any personally identifying
   or sensitive information.

   As users expect to receive automatic updates, the effect of changing
   the behaviour of the software is already expected by the user.  If
   users have already been informed that data will be reported back to
   the developers of the software, then again the addition of new
   metrics would be expected.  Note that the reduced impact of A/B
   testing should not be used be an excuse to push updates that might
   compromise user expectations around security and privacy.

   In the event that something does go wrong with the update, it should
   be easy for users to discover that they have been part of an
   experiment and roll back the change, allowing for explicit refusal of
   consent to override the presumed implied consent.

2.3.  Share responsibly

   Further to use of measurement data, data is often shared with other
   researchers.  Measurement data sharing comes with its own set of
   expectations and responsibilities of the provider.  Likewise there
   are responsibilities that come with the use of others’ measurement
   data.  One obvious expectation is around end-user consent (see
   "Implied consent" above).  Allman and Paxson [Allman] provide "a set
   of guidelines that aim to aid the process of sharing measurement
   data... [in] a framework under which providers and users can better
   attain a mutual understanding about how to treat particular
   datasets."

   Their guidance since 2007 has been for data providers to:

   *  explicitly indications of the terms of a dataset’s acceptable use

   *  convey what interactions they desire or will accommodate.

   Their guidance for researchers is to:

   *  be thoughtful in the reporting of potentially sensitive
      information gleaned from providers’ data.

   *  comply with the indications and interactions of the data
      providers.

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


   Example: Researchers have obtained network measurement data from more
   than one provider for purposes of conducting analysis of protocol use
   on both.  Where privacy paritioning techniques are used, the
   researchers' findings may inadvertently collude to uncover private
   information about users.  Once realised, researchers should mitigate
   this privacy risk to end users as well as disclosing this result to
   the data providers themselves.

2.4.  Isolate risk with a dedicated testbed

   Wherever possible, use a testbed.  An isolated network means that
   there are no other users sharing the infrastructure you are using for
   your experiments.

   When measuring performance, competing traffic can have negative
   effects on the performance of your test traffic and so the testbed
   approach can also produce more accurate and repeatable results than
   experiments using the public internet.

   Example: WAN link conditions can be emulated through artificial
   delays and/or packet loss using a tool like [netem].  Competing
   traffic can also be emulated using traffic generators.

2.5.  Be respectful of others' infrastructure

   If your experiment is designed to trigger a response from
   infrastructure that is not your own, consider what the negative
   consequences of that may be.  At the very least your experiment will
   consume bandwidth that may have to be paid for.

   In more extreme circumstances, you could cause traffic to be
   generated that causes legal trouble for the owner of that
   infrastructure.  The internet is a global network that crosses many
   legal jurisdictions and so what may be legal for one is not
   necessarily legal for another.

   If you are sending a lot of traffic quickly, or otherwise generally
   deviating from typical client behaviour, a network may identify this
   as an attack which means that you will not be collecting results that
   are representative of what a typical client would see.

   One possible way to mitigate this risk is transparency, i.e. mark
   measurement-related data or activity as such.  For example, the
   popular internet measurement tool ZMap hardcodes its packets to have
   IP ID 54321 in order to allow identification [ZMap].

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


2.6.  Maintain a "Do Not Scan" list

   When performing active measurements on a shared network, maintain a
   list of hosts that you will never scan regardless of whether they
   appear in your target lists.  When developing tools for performing
   active measurement, or traffic generation for use in a larger
   measurement system, ensure that the tool will support the use of a
   "Do Not Scan" list.

   If complaints are made that request you do not generate traffic
   towards a host or network, you must add that host or network to your
   "Do Not Scan" list, even if no explanation is given or the request is
   automated.

   You may ask the requester for their reasoning if it would be useful
   to your experiment.  This can also be an opportunity to explain your
   research and offer to share any results that may be of interest.  If
   you plan to share the reasoning when publishing your measurement
   results, e.g. in an academic paper, you must seek consent for this
   from the requester.

   Be aware that in publishing your measurement results, it may be
   possible to infer your "Do Not Scan" list from those results.  For
   example, if you measured a well-known list of popular websites then
   it would be possible to correlate the results with that list to
   determine which are missing.  This inference might leak the fact that
   those websites specifically requested to not be scanned.

2.7.  Minimize data

   When collecting, using, disclosing, and storing data from a
   measurement, use only the minimal data necessary to perform a task.
   Reducing the amount of data reduces the amount of data that can be
   misused or leaked.

   When deciding on the data to collect, assume that any data collected
   might be disclosed.  There are many ways that this could happen,
   through operational security mistakes or compulsion by a judicial
   system.

   When directly instrumenting a protocol to provide metrics to a
   passive observer, see section 6.1 of RFC6973[RFC6973] for the data
   minimization considerations enumerated below that are specific to the
   use case.

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


2.7.1.  Discard data

   Discard data that is not required to perform the task.

   When performing active measurements, be sure to only capture traffic
   that you have generated.  Traffic may be identified by IP ranges or
   by some token that is unlikely to be used by other users.

   Again, this can help to improve the accuracy and repeatability of
   your experiment.  For performance benchmarking, [RFC2544] requires
   that any frames received that were not part of the test traffic are
   discarded and not counted in the results.

2.7.2.  Mask data

   Mask data that is not required to perform the task.  This technique
   is particularly useful for content of traffic to indicate that either
   a particular class of content existed or did not exist, or the length
   of the content, but not recording the content itself.  The content
   can be replaced with tokens or encrypted.

   It is important to note that masking data does not necessarily
   anonymize it [SurveyNetworkTrafficAnonymisationTech].

2.7.3.  Aggregate data

   When collecting data, consider if the granularity can be limited by
   using bins or adding noise.  Differential privacy techniques
   [DifferentialPrivacy] can help with this.

   Example: [Tor.2017-04-001] presents a case-study on the in-memory
   statistics in the software used by the Tor network.

2.8.  Reduce accuracy

   There are various techniques that can be used to reduce the accuracy
   of the collected data and make it less identifying.

   The use of binning to group numbers of more-or-less continuous
   values, coarse categorization in modeling, reduction in
   concentrations of IP address by geography (geoip) or other first- or
   second-order identifiers, the introduction of noise and all privacy-
   preserving measurement techniques that allow researchers to safely
   conduct internet measurement experiments without risking harm to real
   users[Janson].

Internet-Draft          Safe Internet Measurement           January 2024


2.9.  Analyze risk

   The benefits of internet measurement should outweigh the risks.
   Consider auxiliary data (e.g. third-party data sets) when assessing
   the risks.  Consider that while a privacy risk may not be immediately
   apparent or realisable, in the future increased computing power may
   then make something possible.

   Example: A research project releases encrypted payloads as a method
   for minimising exposure of sensitive user data.  However the
   encryption could be trivially broken in the future with typical
   increases in computing power.

3.  Security Considerations

   This document as a whole addresses user safety considerations for
   internet measurement studies, and thus discusses security
   considerations extensively throughout regarding collection and
   storage of user data.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document has no actions for IANA.

5.  Acknowledgements

   Many of these considerations are based on those from the
   [TorSafetyBoard] adapted and generalised to be applied to internet
   research.
