An ill-defined data validation process may directly impact both security (e.g. application failure, legal issues) and accounting and charging (e.g. trusting metadata in file headers). Therefore, this paper investigates, evaluates (by means of tests), and discusses data validation processes of popular CPs. A proof of concept system was thus built, implementing encoders carefully crafted to circumvent data validation processes, ultimately demonstrating how large amounts of unaccounted, arbitrary data can be stored into CPs. </i>
Reminds me of the VR Experience Recording system that one of my friends was working on.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/Tlo0tzbNIW8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/Tlo0tzbNIW8</a><p>Essentially, the encoded position of a VR headset is baked into the video stream, to be retrieved at playback to add positional/rotational contexts to the video.
