IM Participants

For IM conversations captured by or imported from the NBA, the event participants are derived from the participants’ display names plus, where possible, their e‑mail addresses. If the IM protocol does not make these addresses available to the NBA, the NBA derives a ‘pseudo address’ from a participant’s display name and the IM protocol:

Format

<displayname>@chat-<protocol>

For example

frank1234@chat-yahoo

Pseudo addresses may be generated for the following IM protocols: AIMICQ, JABBER, MSN, SIP, and YAHOO.

In addition, the source and destination machine IDs are also stored as event participants.
