I’m not sure I agree with the calculation. Basically they use each variable as independent when they are by nature not - as in if you have iPhone in the headers

I’m not sure I agree with the calculation. Basically they use each variable as independent when they are by nature not - as in if you have iPhone in the headers, you’ll probably have certain ram and gpu hashes. So those aren’t necessarily fully independent bits of info.
- einpoklum 3y agoOh, no, they treat the variables as fully dependent. That's why they take the maximum over the fields, not the sum nor some kind of \Prod_i(1-p_i) - type thing.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoIt doesn’t take the maximum. It says I have 14.53 bits of identifying information, however the max listed is my time zone offset providing 8.24 Bits of identifying information.
