    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to techniques for controlling access to data in a decentralized manner. An apparatus includes an apportioning component to divide an item of data into multiple portions based on an organizational structure of the item of data; a tree component to generate a PRN tree including a multitude of nodes and a branching structure based on the organizational structure, the multitude including at least one branching node and multiple leaf nodes that correspond to the multiple portions; a PRN component to generate a PRN for each node of the multitude, the PRN component to use a PRN of a branching node of the PRN tree to generate a PRN for a leaf node that depends therefrom; and a communications component to transmit the multiple portions and multiple addresses based on PRNs of leaf nodes of the PRN tree to a server. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A data processing system (DPS) supports exchange of digital keys. The DPS comprises a communication module which, when executed by the DPS, is operable to receive, via multiple different network routes, multiple copies of a seed message from a second DPS, as part of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange process with the second DPS, wherein each copy of the seed message includes a seed value. The DPS also comprises a security module which, when executed by the DPS, is operable to perform operations comprising (a) determining a prevalent seed value, based on the multiple copies of the seed message; (b) computing a prevalence metric to indicate how many of the seed messages contained the prevalent seed value; and (c) determining whether a seed exchange portion of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange process has been successfully performed, based on the prevalence metric. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for natural language interactions with virtual personal assistant systems include a computing device configured to capture audio input, distort the audio input to produce a number of distorted audio variations, and perform speech recognition on the audio input and the distorted audio variants. The computing device selects a result from a large number of potential speech recognition results based on contextual information. The computing device may measure a user's engagement level by using an eye tracking sensor to determine whether the user is visually focused on an avatar rendered by the virtual personal assistant. The avatar may be rendered in a disengaged state, a ready state, or an engaged state based on the user engagement level. The avatar may be rendered as semitransparent in the disengaged state, and the transparency may be reduced in the ready state or the engaged state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An embodiment of an augmented reality model placement apparatus may include a location identifier to identify one or more candidate locations in a three-dimensional (3D) model for an augmented reality (AR) model based on the 3D model, the AR model, and placement constraints for the AR model, a location ranker communicatively coupled to the location identifier to assign respective ranks to the one or more identified candidate locations based on placement ranking criteria, and a location selector communicatively coupled to the location ranker to select a placement location for the AR model from the one or more identified candidate locations. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
