Techniques for secure public exposure of digital data include extracting n chunks, each containing Q bits, n=2(Q+1). A random mapping of each chunk to only one batch of M numbered batches is determined and stored securely. A bit based on a random key is combined at a location based on batch number with each of the chunks in the batch to produce a batch of enhanced chunks, each containing Q+1 bits. This is repeated with each non-overlapping batch of chunks, each enhanced chunk of the batch having one bit based on a different bit from the key. A unique set of the enhanced chunks is combined with a XOR to produce an encoded chunk, every bit of which is based on a bit from the key. An encoding vector B that indicates the unique set is stored securely. The encoded chunk can be safely exposed publically.

Compact key encoding of data for public exposure such as cloud storage

Systems, methods and apparatuses for estimating a location within an area are disclosed. One method includes determining a plurality of wireless signal signatures at a plurality of locations within the area, wherein each wireless signal signatures includes a characteristic of a plurality of wireless links between a device and a plurality of network access points at a one of the plurality of locations, wherein the plurality of wireless signal signatures are received by a network manager server. Further, the network manager server receives a present wireless signal signature of a current device. The method further includes estimating locations the current device, including comparing a present wireless signal signature of the current device with plurality of wireless signal signatures, and adaptively re-determining the plurality of wireless signal signatures based on at least one condition of a distributed wireless network that includes the plurality of network access points.
