The impact of encryption and AI on open source in DPI: challenges and opportunities

The rise of encryption protocols is transforming network security, presenting both challenges and opportunities for open-source deep packet inspection (DPI) solutions. While open-source DPI excels at handling common encryption methods, it struggles with newer techniques, as well as anonymization and obfuscation strategies. The growing reliance on AI and machine learning in commercial DPI products offers a potential path forward, but open-source projects face obstacles in integrating these technologies due to challenges around data privacy, training, and model sharing.
