Various embodiments are generally directed to improved channel quality information feedback techniques. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (eNB) may comprise a processor circuit, a communication component for execution by the processor circuit to receive a channel quality index for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the channel quality index associated with a defined reference resource, and a selection component for execution by the processor circuit to select a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for transmission over the PDSCH of user equipment (UE) data in one or more resource blocks, the selection component to compensate for a difference between a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) overhead of the defined reference resource and a CRS overhead of the one or more resource blocks when selecting the MCS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Described is an open communication system. The system includes a server having a memory storing user data and a first user computing device coupled to the server. The server may be programmed to allow multiple user computing devices to connect to the server and the server determines if the user computing devices are within a predetermined proximity to each other and whether the same communication channel is selected. All of the user computing devices that have selected the same communication channel and are within the predetermined proximity to each may be connected in an open communication link that allows the connected user to communicate. The system may include the option of establishing and invite particular users to a private or less used channel.

Described herein are systems and methods that allow for secure wireless communication between a contact lens system and an accessory device to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access to confidential information. In certain embodiments, tampering attempts by potential attackers are thwarted by using a Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) circuit that is immune to reverse engineering. In addition, sensors monitor a to-be-protected electronic device to detect tampering attempts and physical attacks to ensure the physical integrity of the communication system.

A privacy protection method and apparatus for a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes specifying basic information, privacy protection indication, and fictitious information of a contact item to be recorded in a contact list, determining, when a contact is received from an external terminal, whether a privacy protection function is activated for the external terminal, and outputting, when the privacy protection function is activated for the external terminal, a contact reception screen and a contact handling screen that include pre-specified fictitious information of the external terminal and exclude pre-specified basic information thereon. As a result, when a contact is received from a counterpart, information on the counterpart can be prevented from being displayed on the screen. Hence, it is possible to prevent inadvertent disclosure of counterpart information.

The present disclosure relates to techniques for collection and processing of data over a network, and in particular to in providing generalized analysis for preserving privacy of data sources. In some embodiments, a system receives a request for analytical data made by a requester, wherein the request includes: information for identifying one or more data source devices to be queried for input data, a type of data processing to be performed on the input data for generating the analytical data, and a data type for the analytical data. In response to receiving the request, the system causes the one or more data source devices to be queried for the input data. The system causes a response that includes the analytical data to be sent to the requester. Other embodiments are described throughout the present disclosure.

A recording device provides bystander-centric privacy controls for authorizing the storage of a bystander's identifying information (e.g., video or audio recordings of the bystander). Before a recording device can store identifying information of bystanders, the bystanders may indicate to the recording device whether they authorize the storage. If the bystanders do not authorize the storage, the recording device may modify the identifying information captured by sensors, such as a video camera or a microphone, such that the identity of the non-authorizing bystander is not identifiable through the modified identifying information. Thus, bystanders are given increased agency over whether they want to be recorded. Further, if the bystanders do not want to be recorded, sensor data that may identify them is modified by the recording device to prevent unwanted exposure of their identity in recorded content.

A financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution includes a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, and a processing circuit comprising a memory and a processor. The memory has instructions stored thereon that cause the processor to receive, by the network interface, a content request from a user computing device associated with a user, the content request requesting content from a network destination, determine if the network destination is associated with a trusted entity, determine that the requested content prompts the user to input sensitive information, and transmit, by the network interface substitution content to the user computing device responsive to determining that the network destination is illegitimate and to determining that the requested content includes at least one field into which the user may input sensitive information, the substitution content including at least one prompt requesting the user to input sensitive information.
