Metadata Obfuscation

Metadata Obfuscation for Enhanced Privacy

To combat and protect against metadata analysis, Maze employs advanced techniques such as obfuscating messages, images, and other file patches across the network. Metadata, such as information on who is communicating with whom, still exposes sensitive details even though message content is encrypted. To ensure that third parties cannot identify the participants in a conversation, our system effectively hides communication endpoints, ultimately countering the issue.

Key Features of Metadata Obfuscation

Protection to images and videos, which often contain embedded metadata like capture date, device information, camera settings, and even GPS coordinates, is also extended with our platform. In some scenarios, such metadata can be exploited to trace user activities or be used as evidence in legal cases. Unlike many competing platforms, the Maze application automatically obfuscates all sensitive data within shared images and videos to guarantee user anonymity when media is exchanged within the platform.

In order to safeguard users from potential tracking and exposure, our platform goes beyond basic encryption to provide an additional layer of privacy and security by implementing comprehensive metadata obfuscation measures.
