重新掌控--手机上的可扩展中间盒
Back in control -- An extensible middle-box on your phone
摘要：
移动设备的封闭式设计-具有更高的安全性和一致的用户界面-在很大程度上使其成为访问互联网的主要平台。然而，这些好处并非没有代价。他们对移动设备及其应用程序的操作不容易被用户或运营商理解。我们主张通过一个可扩展的平台来恢复移动设备的透明度和控制，该平台可以在流量离开设备之前或到达操作系统之前拦截和修改流量。从概念上讲，这与传统的中间盒在网络路径中第一条链路的远端所拥有的流量视图相同。我们将此平台称为“中间盒零”或MBZ。通过板载，MBZ还可以在处理流量时利用本地上下文，并补充标准中间盒的网络范围视图。我们讨论了MBZ方法的挑战，勾勒了一个工作设计，并说明了它的潜力与一些具体的例子。
英文摘要：
The closed design of mobile devices -- with the increased security and consistent user interfaces -- is in large part responsible for their becoming the dominant platform for accessing the Internet. These benefits, however, are not without a cost. Their operation of mobile devices and their apps is not easy to understand by either users or operators. We argue for recovering transparency and control on mobile devices through an extensible platform that can intercept and modify traffic before leaving the device or, on arrival, before it reaches the operating system. Conceptually, this is the same view of the traffic that a traditional middlebox would have at the far end of the first link in the network path. We call this platform ``middlebox zero'' or MBZ. By being on-board, MBZ also leverages local context as it processes the traffic and complements the network-wide view of standard middleboxes. We discuss the challenges of the MBZ approach, sketch a working design, and illustrate its potential with some concrete examples.
