Abstract: Uplink high efficiency location of a user equipment (UE) includes initiating periodic or triggered location in the UE by a location server (LS) in a wireless network. The UE enters an idle state and monitors for triggering events. After detecting an event, the UE transmits an uplink positioning signal (UPS) to a base station, where the UPS encodes UPS data comprising a UE ID, an ID for the LS, an authentication code (AC) and location measurements. UPS transmission occurs in an uplink positioning occasion shared with other UEs. The location measurements may be ciphered but other UPS data is unciphered. The base station obtains additional location measurements and transfers the UPS data and the location measurements to the LS. The LS authenticates the UE ID using the AC, determines the UE location using the location measurements and transfers the location to an external client.

Abstract: This document describes a system and method that utilizes principles of quantum mechanics to detect and mitigate adversarial artificial intelligence (AI) attacks on AI agents. The disclosed system first retrieves a baseline quantum state lattice matrix derived from ground truth inputs and ground truth outputs, where each output includes multiple inferred outcomes with probability amplitudes. Output quantum states are then generated from acquired data and quantum states are then generated for each row in the baseline matrix. A quantum-based anomaly classification is then performed based on this generated data to detect adversarial activity occurring at the AI agent.

Abstract: Leveraging secure tokenization, such as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), for purposes of multifactor and/or elevated user authentication. In this regard, an authentication NFT is generated based at least on a user's authentication credentials. Subsequently, the authentication NFT is verified/validated via a private distributed trust computing network and stored, in a deactivated state, on a distributed ledger. Once the user is confronted with an elevated and/or multifactored authentication process, the user may initiates use of the authentication NFT by checking-out the authentication NFT from the distributed ledger and moving the authentication NFT from the deactivated state to an activated state, in which the user credentials are accessible to the user for purposes of authentication.

Abstract: Methods and systems for certificate management in a distributed system are disclosed. The distributed system may include data processing systems that utilize certificates issued by a certificate issuer. The data processing systems may be intermittently connected to the certificate issuer. The certificate issuer may, at any point in time, revoke any issued certificate.
