To what extent you can actually account for this in your application is an open question.

### Statistical Attacks
|
||||
|
||||
Using some basic binomial probability we can use the false positive rate of reach receiver tag to calculate
|
||||
the probability of matching on at least X tags given the false positive rate. Using this we can find statistically
|
||||
unlikely matches e.g. a low-false positive key matching many tags in a given period.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be used to find receivers who likely received messages in a given period.
|
||||
|
||||
If it is possible to group tags by sender then we can perform a slightly better attack and ultimately learn the
|
||||
underlying social graph with fairly low false positive rates (in simulations we can learn 5-10% of the underlying
|
||||
connections with between 5-12% false positive rates.)
|
||||
|
||||

One potential way of removing context is by having senders send their message to the server through some kind of anonymous

Anonymous messaging systems (and other privacy-preserving applications) often require a mechanism for one party
|
||||
to learn that another party has messaged them ("notifications").
