    New Patent Keeps Your Account ID Hidden From Apps

    Every time an app asks Google who you are, your real account identity gets passed around. Google's new patent describes a system that hands apps a throwaway stand-in code instead, keeping your actual account hidden behind Google's servers.

    Google Patents Technology to Detect Fake Faces by Measuring How Cameras See Depth

    Holding a printed photo in front of a phone's face-unlock camera is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Google's latest patent describes a way to catch that — using a trick already built into the camera sensor itself.

    Google Patents a Cloud System That Keeps Private Data Locked Inside a Sealed Processing Chamber

    Google is patenting a cloud architecture where your most sensitive data — health records, financial transactions, whatever — gets processed inside a mathematically sealed chamber that even Google's own infrastructure can't peek into.

    Microsoft Patents Laser Sign-In That Locks Out Anyone Not Standing Directly Opposite

    Samsung Patents Technology to Teach Security Systems to Spot Fake Fingerprints and Face Scans

    Teaching an AI to spot a fake fingerprint or face scan is tricky when you don't have enough real fakes to practice on. Samsung's solution: make the fakes yourself, then test them before using them as training data.

    Red Hat's New Patent Watches AI Models for Signs of Tampering

    When an AI model quietly starts doing things it never used to do at the operating system level, that's a red flag — and Red Hat wants to be the one catching it.

    IBM Patents a Tool That Keeps Sensitive Business Data Hidden During Code Troubleshooting

    When developers debug software running in the cloud, they often get a full view of the code's internal state — including private customer data that was never meant to be seen. IBM's new patent tries to close that gap before it becomes a breach.

    IBM Patents an AI System That Watches Digital Assets for Misuse in Real Time

    IBM has patented a system where an AI model learns what your company's digital assets normally look like — and automatically steps in when something goes wrong. Think of it as a security guard that already knows every file's job description.

    Red Hat Patents a System That Strips Harmful AI Commands Before They Run

    AI models can generate code that looks helpful but contains instructions that could break — or quietly hijack — a system. Red Hat's new patent describes a filter that catches those dangerous commands before they ever execute.

    Qualcomm Patents a Double-Check System to Stop Hackers From Faking Face and Fingerprint Scans

    Your fingerprint scan might be genuine — but is the data that reaches your phone's security chip actually from this moment, or could malware have slipped in a recording? Qualcomm's new patent is designed to make sure the answer is always the former.
