Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, and computing entities for predictive data protection using a data protection policy determination machine learning model. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: processing a historical data corpus using the data protection policy determination machine learning model to generate a dynamic data protection policy update describing inferred data protection instructions; determining an attestation subset of the inferred data protection instructions by comparing the instructions and prior data protection instructions described by an existing data protection policy; for each inferred data protection instruction in the attestation subset, determining a per-instruction attestation determination based on end-user feedback; generating an updated data protection policy by updating the existing policy in accordance with each inferred instruction in the attestation subset whose per-instruction attestation determination describes an affirmative attestation determination; and performing the predictive data protection using the updated data protection policy.

A personal blockchain is generated as a cloud-based software service in a blockchain environment. The personal blockchain immutably archives usage of any device, perhaps as requested by a user. However, some of the usage may be authorized for public disclosure, while other usage may be designated as private and restricted from public disclosure. The public disclosure may permit public ledgering by still other blockchains, thus providing two-way public/private ledgering for improved record keeping. Private usage, though, may only be documented by the personal blockchain.

The present invention provides an improved system and method for using cryptography to secure computer-implemented choice mechanisms. In several preferred embodiments, a process is provided for securing participants' submissions while simultaneously providing the capability of validating their submissions. This is referred to as a random permutation. In several other preferred embodiments, a process is provided for securing participants' advance instructions while simultaneously providing the capability of validating their advance instructions. This is referred to as a secure advance instruction. Applications include voting mechanisms, school choice mechanisms, and auction mechanisms.

The present invention provides a wireless communication method of an access point. The wireless communication method comprises the steps of: establishing a cache table comprising a plurality of reference MAC and corresponding PMKs and reference PMKIDs; receiving an association request from a station; reading a MAC address of the station and a PMKID from the association request; if the MAC address of the station and the PMKID do not match items of the cache table, performing a calculation on the PMKID to obtain an original PMKID; determining if the original PMKID matches any one of the reference PMKIDs within the cache table; and if the original PMKID matches one reference PMKID within the cache table, determining that the reference MAC recorded in the cache table and the MAC address belong to the same station.

In an information collection system, an address posting unit posts address information of a hidden service provided by a hidden service providing system to a server serving as a posting target server. Then, the hidden service providing system provides a hidden service appropriate to a hidden service request received from a user terminal to the user terminal. After that, an information collection unit collects information (e.g., input request information, service result information, etc.) about the hidden service provided by the hidden service providing system.

A method and system for initiating message listening and routing message content to authorized user devices is disclosed. For a second user device to receive notifications regarding records of a first user, the second user device provides information identifying the first user to a notification service. The notification service verifies the identifying information. The notification service initiates one or more listeners to listen for messages flowing over a messaging bus that are relating to the first user. Once a message is identified, at least a portion of the message is used to generate a notification that may be sent to the second user device.

A method may include a method of automating processes for remote work. The method may include receiving, at a server, first login data from a client software application. The client software application may be executing on a user device of a remote worker user. The method may include authenticating the remote worker user based on the first login data. The method may include receiving, at the server, command data from the client software application. The command data may include data indicating to the server to launch a software application. The method may include launching, on the server, the software application. The method may include inputting, using a robotic process automation (RPA) process, second login data of the remote worker user into the software application. The method may include key site information, speech-to-text functionality, onboarding functionality, automated support, or activity logging.

Systems and methods for periodically modifying data privacy elements are provided. The systems and methods may identify a set of data privacy elements. A data privacy element can characterizes a feature of a computing device and can be detectable by a network host. A first artificial profile can be generated by modifying a first data privacy element based on an artificial profile model that defines a relationship associated with one or more constraints between the set of data privacy elements. Subsequent to generating the first artificial profile, a second artificial profile can be generated by periodically modifying a second data privacy element in accordance with the relationship defined by the artificial profile model. The computer device can be masked from being identified by the network host by sending the second artificial profile including the second data privacy element to a requested network location.

A method for establishing a telephone communication between a first terminal and a second terminal. The first and second terminals each have a main caller identifier, and the second terminal additionally has a secondary caller identifier. This method is implemented when the user of the first terminal seeks to communicate with the user of the second terminal by using the secondary caller identifier of the second terminal. The method allows redirecting the telephone call of the first terminal to a voicemail system associated with the secondary caller identifier when the user of the second terminal does not answer this telephone call. The voicemail system is associated with a voicemail system caller identifier selected from a database connected to a communication management platform.

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices.
