Abstract: A computer implemented method of managing consent for sharing data, the method comprising: storing data sharing preferences for a data subject in relation to data held by a plurality of data controllers; receiving a data share request from a requestor to obtain personal data relating to the data subject and held by one or more of the data controllers; comparing the data share request to the data sharing preferences of the data subject; and for each of the one or more data controllers: instructing the one or more data controllers to share the personal data with the requestor, or rejecting the data share request, in dependence on the comparison.

Abstract: A computing device incorporating repetitive side channel attack (SCA) countermeasures can include a timer circuit and a capacitive delay circuit that notifies of a potential repetitive-based attack by sending an activity-detected signal that can be used to initiate an appropriate countermeasure response. Additionally, or independently, a computing device incorporating repetitive SCA countermeasures can include at least one storage unit that can store an incoming input signal, at least one comparator to compare the incoming input signal with another signal and indicate a match, and a counter that increments upon the match. When the counter reaches a specified limit, a limit-exceeded signal can be sent to notify of a potential repetitive-based attack and initiate an appropriate countermeasure response.

Abstract: The present techniques disclose, in at least one embodiment, a method of generating route instructions, the method comprising: receiving, at a control system, route requests from a plurality of users; selecting, at the control system, paths from one or more path networks to satisfy the respective route requests, wherein the paths are selected based, at least in part, on or responsive to one or more path criteria for the respective paths; generating, at the control system, route instructions for the respective route requests, wherein the route instructions comprise the selected paths; transmitting, from the control system to the plurality of users, the respective route instructions.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided to enable power supply input to be isolated from power supply output. Power is received from a first power signal at a first of a plurality of charge stores. A second power signal is output from a second of the plurality of charge stores. The second power signal is isolated from the first power supply. The first charge store can be charged from the power input whilst isolated from the power output. The second charge store can be discharged to the power output, while isolated from the power input.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a power input, a power output, and a plurality of independent powering units each comprising at least one charge store. Each of the plurality of powering units is capable of receiving power from the power input while isolating the power output, and each of the plurality of powering units is capable of outputting power to the power output while isolating the power input.
