Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for coordinated data obfuscation. In one example, a first network device in a network obtains, from a controller in or having communication to the network, an obfuscation parameter that is further obtained by one or more second network devices in the network. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of the first network device has a given logical relationship to PII of the one or more second network devices. Based on the obfuscation parameter, the first network device obfuscates the PII of the first network device to generate obfuscated PII of the first network device. The obfuscated PII of the first network device has the given logical relationship to obfuscated PII of the one or more second network devices. The first network device provides the obfuscated PII of the first network device to a server configured to collect the obfuscated PII of the one or more second network devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic management system includes an input/output sub-system to receive route search requests from client devices, and a CPU to search a route database for a suitable match for the route search requests yielding routes. The input/output sub-system is operative to receive data related to traffic levels along the routes. The CPU is operative to calculate a score for each route, select N quickest routes, and allocate the N quickest routes among the client devices. A first and second client device are allocated a first and second quickest route from the N quickest routes, respectively, the first and second quickest route having a first and second score, respectively. The second score is different to the first score. The input/output sub-system is operative to send to each client device data about the route allocated to that client device. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
