Publication number: 20240152502Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may transmit, to a first data source, a first message encoding a first query and may receive a first response to the first query from the first data source. The user device may transmit, to a second data source, a second message encoding a second query that duplicates the first query and may receive a second response to the second query from the second data source. The user device may transmit a first reverse query to the first data source based on the second response and/or a second reverse query to the second data source based on the first response. The user device may receive at least one reverse query response.
