    Microsoft Patents a Real-Time Risk-Scoring System for Human and Bot Identities

    When an employee — or an automated script — asks for extra permissions, Microsoft's patent wants a risk score calculated on the spot before anyone says yes. The twist: that score gets handed to a human approver along with a flag for any weird behavior detected in real time.

    Microsoft Patents Low-Cost Masking Circuit for Post-Quantum Cryptography

    Quantum-resistant encryption is only useful if attackers can't extract keys by watching power consumption or timing. Microsoft's new patent targets that exact vulnerability — cheaply.

    Google Patents a Privacy-Preserving Compute System Blending MPC and Trusted Enclaves

    What if you could run a calculation on sensitive data — and none of the computers involved ever saw the raw numbers? Google's latest patent describes exactly that, by chaining together two well-established cryptographic techniques into a single hybrid system.

    Google Patents a Privacy-Preserving Ad Attribution System Using Attestation Tokens

    Google is trying to solve one of mobile advertising's most contentious problems — figuring out which ad caused you to install an app — without ever exposing who you actually are.

    Google Patents a Privacy Filter That Scrubs Your Voice Queries Before Sharing With Third-Party AI Assistants

    When you ask a voice assistant something personal, who else hears it? Google is patenting a system that decides — automatically — how much of your spoken query gets passed along to a secondary AI, based on how much that AI is trusted.

    Nvidia Patents an AI System That Generates Fake Spear Phishing Emails to Train Detectors

    What if the best way to catch a phishing email is to first teach an AI to write thousands of convincing ones? That's exactly the idea behind Nvidia's latest cybersecurity patent.

    Apple Patents a Screen-Sharing System That Warns You Before Sharing Sensitive Content

    Ever accidentally flashed a bank statement or private message during a screen share? Apple is patenting a system that catches you before that happens — but only for content it deems sensitive enough to warrant a warning.

    Microsoft Patents Seasonal-Aware Cloud Usage Anomaly Detection System

    Most cloud anomaly detectors treat a Black Friday traffic spike the same as a suspicious breach. Microsoft's new patent tries to fix that by teaching the system what 'normal' looks like for each time of year — for each individual customer.

    New Browser Patent Detects When Your Medical Data Is Being Leaked

    Most privacy tools tell you after your data has been exposed. Microsoft is patenting a system that warns you <em>before</em> you click — specifically when that click might reveal something sensitive like a medical condition.

    Google Patents a Privacy-Preserving System for Teaching Smart Speakers Your Sounds

    Your smart speaker already listens for its wake word — but what if it could learn to recognize the specific sounds that matter in your home, like your dog's bark or a particular door chime, without ever sending a raw recording to Google's servers?

    WhatsApp Patents Silent OTP Forwarding That Kills the Copy-Paste Step

    Every time you copy a one-time password from your messages and paste it into an app, you're doing a job that a computer should do. WhatsApp apparently agrees — and has patented a way to make that handoff happen silently, without you touching anything.

    Microsoft Patents a Built-In Windows Toggle for AI Data Collection Control

    Microsoft is patenting a system-level privacy toggle baked directly into Windows that lets you see — and stop — AI data collection in real time. Think of it as a mute button for the machine-learning pipeline that feeds Copilot and similar features.
