Private Set Intersection For Offline, Privacy-Preserving, Contact-Based Nearby Device Discovery, Kevin Yeo, Darren Krahn, Joon Young Seo, Dave Mccloskey
Defensive Publications Series
To support offline, privacy-preserving, contact-based discovery (that does not reveal the user’s contacts to nearby devices), a cryptographic protocol is needed that allows sending and receiving devices to share their encrypted identifiers and/or address books without revealing private information. This sharing needs to be implemented in a manner that avoids various types of attacks. Sharing the identifiers in a specific order is critical to avoiding certain types of attacks that may compromise user privacy. This disclosure describes a cryptographic protocol developed using signatures and private set intersection (PSI) that enables privacy-preserving, contact-based discovery. The cryptographic techniques utilize a federated identity …

Probabilistic Identity Filter For Offline, Privacy-Preserving, Contact-Based Nearby Device Discovery, Dave Mccloskey, Darren Krahn, Joon Young Seo, Kevin Yeo
Defensive Publications Series
A core component of offline, private, contact-based discovery is requiring the two devices to perform a cryptographic protocol known as private set intersection (PSI) between a list of identifiers stored at a first device and the address book of known contacts stored at a second device. However, PSI is computationally expensive. This disclosure describes a probabilistic identity filter for devices. A device can encode a set of identities using this filter that enables other devices to check if their identity belongs in this filter with no false negatives and only small false positive probabilities, while ensuring that other devices cannot …

On-Demand Generation Of Searchable Ephemeral Web Addresses Via Agentic Browser Actuation, Tal Snir
Defensive Publications Series
Traditional web crawlers may face challenges indexing certain types of dynamic, ephemeral web content, such as customized product comparisons or filtered lists, as this content can be generated on-the-fly and may not have a persistent, static uniform resource locator (URL). This situation can lead to search results that do not include certain types of user-customized information. A disclosed system can be configured to capture user intent from a query and deploy an agentic technology, for instance, a browser actuation agent. The agent can programmatically simulate user navigation on a target website to dynamically generate an ad-hoc URL corresponding to content …

Method For Selecting A Radio Access Technology Based On User Activity Context During Network Acquisition, Edison Chen
Defensive Publications Series
When a user equipment (UE), such as a smartphone, wearable device, or other computing device, recovers from a lack of coverage or is switched on, it may default to searching for a previously used, potentially lower-speed radio access technology (RAT). This can lead to data buffering and latency if a user initiates a high-speed data activity, such as online gaming or video conferencing, as the device may then need to perform a subsequent handover to a higher-speed RAT. A described method can address this by allowing the UE to first determine a user's activity context upon recovering network access. By …

Persona State Management In A Large Language Model Session Using Structured Text Delimiters, Christopher Jonathan Phoenix
Defensive Publications Series
A method is described for managing multiple personas within a single large language model (LLM) session, which can address challenges where roles may merge or be omitted in the output. The method can use structured delimiters, such as XML-style tags, to differentiate persona-specific text. For example, an initial prompt can establish each persona and its unique tag, with instructions for the model to enclose its corresponding output within those tags. The delimiters may function as high-salience tokens that condition the model's attention mechanism, promoting stylistic and logical consistency for each persona. This conditioning can guide the model to assign higher …
