I'm really interested in their solution for solving metadata leakage. I just looked over the SCIMP white paper, and it didn't mention anything about metadata.

- redblacktree 13y agoI think not sending all of the data in cleartext will still be a huge improvement.
- Xylakant 13y agoI think this is one of the fundamental misunderstandings: Metadata includes such interesting things as "who has been sending messages to whom at what time" and potentially also from where (ip address). This is an avenue to reconstruct social networks and behavioral patterns, especially if you can crosslink the data with other public sources. I recommend this visualization of the movement profile only derived from the collected data of one german politician (sorry, german only but fairly easy to understand) http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-vorratsdaten http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-vorratsdaten

- Tepix 13y agoIt appears they will use XMPP which offers encryption.. so the metadata that appears is encrypted XMPP messages being transmitted between servers to notify users about new messages. Then you'll see the (encrypted) access to the cloud storage.
