Collecting metadata on an instant messaging server

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this work in progress paper, we worked on metadata leakage in the specific use case of an instant messaging server. In a first time, we define the different type of metadata that can be found, then in a second time, we provide a proof of concept using live forensic method to show how we can retrieve leaked metadata on a running server. Then we propose the use of an Oblivious RAM model as a solution of this leak.
