B. Alert Rate
We quantify the rate of alerts expected in the traffic for a
sensitive data entry (the fuzzified fingerprints set of a piece
of sensitive data) given the following values: the total number
of fuzzified sensitive fingerprints τ , the expected traffic fingerprints
set size n, fingerprint length p f , fuzzy length pd,
partial disclosure rate ps ∈ (0, 1], and the expected rate α,
which is the percentage of fingerprints in the sensitive data
entry that appear in the network traffic. The expected alert
rate R is presented in (4).
