Abstract: A method includes receiving electronic data, extracting a first identifier from the electronic data, extracting first attributes from the electronic data, and searching a database for identifiers that match the first identifier to determine a number of matching identifiers. The method also includes determining that the number of matching identifiers exceeds a first threshold and searching the database for attributes associated with each of the matching identifiers to determine a subset of matching attributes. The method further includes calculating a specificity for the subset of matching attributes, determining that the specificity of the subset of matching attributes is less than or equal to a second threshold, and creating a filter based at least in part on the determination that the specificity of the subset of matching attributes is less than or equal to the second threshold.

Abstract: A communication device is arranged to transmit a character string that identifies the device. The character string comprises a plurality of substrings, each of which comprises a sequence of characters. A property of the device is identified using a data structure having multiple nodes, wherein each of a plurality of nodes stores a respective hash value. Each hash value corresponds to the hash value that would be generated by performing a hash function on the sequence of characters of each substring. The data structure comprises references between the plurality of nodes, and the references define a path through the data structure that identifies the device. A node on the path is associated with a property of the device.
