LeakWatch

LeakWatch is a command-line tool and Java API for estimating information leakage from Java programs.

The information leakage model underpinning LeakWatch is CH-IMP. CH-IMP computes information leakage from algorithms of low to moderate complexity, whereas LeakWatch is a tool that approximates CH-IMP's leakage model for larger bodies of real-world Java software.

LeakWatch is freely available, and can be downloaded from the download page. Integrating LeakWatch into your existing codebase is quick and easy: see the getting started page of the user guide.
