Abstract: An operating-system overlay-control system obtains, for a synthetic overlay, a validation result produced by validating a Reality Receipt (R2) under a freshness policy relative to a current signed head of an append-only log, including verification of an origin signature, an inclusion proof, and append-only evolution on head advance. From the validation result, the system determines an egress-permit vector that enumerates downstream egress action identifiers and follow-on privilege identifiers and specifies permitted or denied states. Operating-system authorization gatepoints and privilege-control interfaces enforce fail-closed control so that requested downstream egress actions and follow-on privileges are allowed only when permitted by the egress-permit vector and otherwise are blocked, withheld, or refused with a Structured Precondition-Failure code.

Abstract: Implementations provide visual cryptographic techniques that obscure text using pixel manipulation and multiple visual layers. The visual cryptography techniques implemented in embodiments manipulate the pixel values of an image that define target text and generate multiple layers using the manipulated pixel values. The generated layers are configured such that successive and rapid display of the layers generates an obscured version of the image and a legible version of the target text when viewed by a person. However, implementations generate and/or display the layers such that the target text is illegible in captured image(s) or video of the obscured version of the image. Thus, embodiments provide an obscured version of an image with legible target text when viewed by a person, but the target text is illegible in captured image(s) or video of the obscured version of the image due to insufficient information capture.

Areas for display of subtitles may also be added. The use of such combinations can greatly reduce the distortion of the images perceived by viewers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for receipt-gated, fail-closed rendering and egress of synthetic overlays in AR/VR/camera pipelines. An OS-resident reality compositor admits an overlay only when a per-overlay Reality Receipt (R2) verifies, within the frame budget, to a current signed head of an append-only public log under a freshness policy, using an inclusion proof and, on head advance, append-only evolution (consistency); an anti-replay tuple prevents reuse. A view-permit latch binds time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) verify-to-pixels and returns a Structured Precondition-Failure (code) while dropping non-conformant draws; PASS draws are labeled in machine-readable (optionally machine-audible) form. The same predicates govern rendering and at least one of share, upload, record/capture, or clipboard. An attested boundary (TEE/secure element) may aggregate a device run-permit across apps.
