论文摘要
移动设备的封闭设计（随着安全性的提高和一致的用户界面）在很大程度上负责它们成为访问Internet的主要平台。但是，这些好处并非没有成本。用户或运营商对移动设备和应用程序的操作并不容易理解。我们主张通过可扩展的平台在移动设备上恢复透明度和控制，该平台可以在离开设备之前或到达时，在到达操作系统之前，可以拦截和修改流量。从概念上讲，这是传统中间箱在网络路径第一个链接的尽头的流量的观点。我们称此平台为``Midderbox Zero''或MBZ。通过在板载板上，MBZ还利用本地上下文处理流量并补充了标准中间箱的网络范围。我们讨论了MBZ方法的挑战，草图工作设计，并通过一些具体的例子说明了其潜力。
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.
