One way to do this is to use web browsing history to build a profile of an anonymous user. Since an individual’s web use is unique, matching the web use profile to known samples provides a means to identify an unknown user. This paper describes a model for web user profiling and identification. Two aspects of browsing behavior are examined to construct a user profile, the user’s page view number and page view time for each domain. Four weighting models, based on the term frequency and term frequency – inverse document frequency weighting schemes, are proposed and compared. Experiments involving 51 personal computers demonstrate that the profiling model is very effective at identifying web users. %G English %Z TC 11 %Z WG 11.9 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01393760/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01393760/file/978-3-662-44952-3_5_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01393760 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01393760 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-DF %~ IFIP-WG11-9 %~ IFIP-AICT-433
