Description

The modern software ecosystem is data-centric. Data exfiltration due to the attacks of memory scraper-type malware is an emerging threat. RAM Scrapers are data-harvesting malware that collects data from volatile memory. Those often use stealthy techniques, such as, hooking into a payment processing application and selectively dumping data, e.g., credit card information, from a specific memory region. In this book, we set up an appropriate mathematical model capturing the threat such attacks pose to Identity Based Cryptosystems (IBE).
