  • Publication number: 20240098493
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying a trusted SSID for a wireless network are disclosed. Prior to establishing a connection with a wireless network, a first network message is received from a first access point (AP) identifying a first service set identifier (SSID) associated with a first wireless network, a second network message is received from a second AP identifying a second SSID associated with a second wireless network, and a visual similarity is determined between a first visual representation of the first SSID and a second visual representation of the second SSID. The second SSID is designated as suspicious based on the determined visual similarity.

  • Patent number: 5993603
    Abstract: Transparentized paper is prepared by impregnating a paper web with a solution of a sucrose acetate isobutyrate in a lower alcohol and removing the residual alcohol. The preferred paper is 100% cotton rag content, the preferred lower alcohol solvent contains up to 5 carbon atoms, particularly isopropanol. In production, the transparentizing solution is applied to one side of a travelling paper web, excess solution is removed by an air knife, wire wound rod or other means, and residual solvent is removed by impinging hot air on the travelling web. The sucrose acetate isobutyrate can also be applied when fluidized by heating and in the absence of a solvent. The preferred content of sucrose acetate isobutyrate residual in the paper web is from about 10% to about 50% of the paper content of the transparentized paper.
