Abstract: One example device may be configured to determine that a destination public safety answering point (PSAP) of a received first call operates in a legacy PSAP domain. In response such a determination, the device may determine whether the first call is of a first type of call that includes an original number identification or of a second type of call that does not include an original number identification. In response to determining that the first call is of the first type, the device may deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with an original number identification of the first call. In response to determining that the first call is of the second type, the device may generate a crafted number identification for the first call, and deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with the crafted number identification.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and apparatus for securing electronic personal identifying information. The system enhances data privacy, by minimizing the amount of authentic personal identifying information that is shared with a third party. Namely, the system includes a database of known websites, apps, etc. that require personal identifying information to sign up—and then classifies whether any given type of information is strictly necessary to the functioning of the website. The system then generates placeholder “dummy” data for any fields that are required for signup, but are not strictly necessary for the website to function. The system allows for creation of several user profiles that vary the amount of authentic personal identifying information to be shared, based on the user's preferences. The system therefore helps to secure personal information in the event that, for example, the website later has a data breach.

Abstract: An apparatus with an integrated circuit (IC) chip can provide protection against attacks on a read-only memory (ROM), such as a boot ROM for security circuitry. An attacker can gain control of an IC by modifying ROM contents and/or redirecting ROM reads. To combat these attacks, example implementations store encrypted ROM data in the ROM array. A ROM controller is used to cryptographically tie the address of each ROM line to the corresponding encrypted ROM datum. To access the encrypted ROM datum, cryptographic circuitry decrypts the encrypted ROM datum using a key that is generated based on the corresponding ROM address. As part of an integrity checking procedure, a digest can be computed based on the encrypted ROM data. To further thwart would-be attacks, the ROM address can be adjusted (e.g., scrambled) before the controller uses the adjusted address to read encrypted data from the ROM array.
