leakiEst — Tool for "Leaking information Estimation"
leakiEst is a command-line tool and Java API for estimating information leakage from previous records of a system's execution. It performs statistical tests on either discrete or continuous data to distinguish an insecure system with a very small information leak from a secure one with no leakage, and calculates confidence intervals for its estimations. leakiEst can estimate many popular measures of information leakage, including mutual information and min-entropy leakage.
leakiEst is freely available, and can be downloaded from the download page.
