Latest Patents

Ahlquist is named on one patent: “Dynamic Privacy Preserving Data Linkage in Distributed Computing Systems.” The patent describes techniques for linking data while limiting access to personally identifiable information (PII). In one example, separate data structures store non-personal data and PII. A computing service creates a temporary identifier with a time-to-live value and associates it with an identifier for the PII. The temporary identifier can then be sent to another processing system that is not authorized to access the PII data structure directly. This approach supports data linkage while helping protect sensitive information.
