    Microsoft Patents a Network That Opens Routes Only for Verified Devices

    Most corporate networks let you in at the door and then trust you to roam freely. Microsoft's new patent describes a system that checks who you are before every single connection, and then tears that connection down the moment it's no longer needed.

    Microsoft Patent Reveals Local AI Secretly Sends Your Prompts to Cloud for Screening

    Microsoft wants your PC's AI chip to run models locally, but send every prompt to a cloud security service before you see the answer. The kicker: the whole exchange is encrypted so the operating system itself can't read it.

    Meta Patents a System to Catch Avatar Impersonators in Virtual Worlds

    Imagine someone creates a virtual avatar that looks exactly like yours, then uses it to access your digital wallet or private spaces. Meta is working on a system to catch that before it happens.

    Nvidia Patents AI Method to Detect Code Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Can Strike

    Nvidia is patenting an AI-powered code scanner that doesn't just flag suspicious code, it also runs a simulated attack to confirm the flaw is real, then uses what it learned to get sharper at spotting the next one.

  7. Intel · Published Jul 2

    Intel Patents a Method to Stop Hackers From Reading Data Through Electricity

    Hackers don't always need your password. Sometimes they just watch how much power your chip uses while it encrypts data, and that leakage alone can reveal the secret. Intel's latest patent is a circuit-level answer to that threat.

    New AMD Patent Locks AI Models Inside Chips Against Software Theft

    Your AI model is only as safe as the hardware running it. AMD is filing a patent that treats the chip itself as a security vault, encrypting and re-encrypting AI models as they move through different parts of the processor so no rogue software can ever read them in full.

  9. Intel · Published Jul 2

    Intel Patents a Chip That Locks Your Data While Still Running Calculations on It

    Imagine sending your bank a locked box and having it count your money without ever opening it. That's the promise of fully homomorphic encryption, and Intel just filed a patent for chip hardware designed to make it practical.

    Google's New Patent Uses Sound to Check If Your Face Is Real

    Unlocking your phone with your face is convenient until someone holds up a photo and your phone falls for it. Google's new patent uses ultrasound to check whether a real, three-dimensional human face is actually in front of the camera before granting access.

    Apple Patents a System That Checks If Your Gift Card Was Tampered With Before You Activate It

    Gift card scams cost Americans hundreds of millions of dollars every year, often because someone drained the card before you even bought it. Apple is patenting a way to catch that fraud the moment you open the package.
