An attacker can gain information of a user by analyzing its network traffic. The size of transferred data leaks information about the file being transferred or the service being used, and this is particularly revealing when the attacker has…

Maximal leakage quantifies the leakage of information from data $X \in \mathcal{X}$ due to an observation $Y$. While fundamental properties of maximal leakage, such as data processing, sub-additivity, and its connection to mutual…
