TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE — PRIVACY-PRESERVING IDENTITY FOR AI AGENTS AND DIGITAL COMMERCE

Abstract

As artificial intelligence evolves toward autonomous agents capable of contacting businesses, booking services, exchanging messages, initiating payments, and interacting across digital platforms, protecting permanent personal identifiers is becoming an increasingly important security and privacy challenge. Conventional communication masking, temporary phone numbers, email aliases, and payment tokenization reduce direct identifier exposure but do not necessarily bind every subsequent communication or transaction to its original session, authorized party, jurisdiction, and consent conditions.

This technical disclosure presents a cryptographically enforced, session-scoped Virtual Identity (VI) and Compliance Jurisdiction Token (CJT) architecture, described in published international patent application PCT/IB2025/058743 (WO2025210622A2), for privacy-preserving commercial communication and transaction authorization.

The architecture introduces a Virtual Identity Engine that substitutes permanent telephone numbers, email addresses, VoIP identifiers, messaging handles, or payment references with ephemeral Virtual Identities. A Hybrid Virtual Identity (HVI) may cryptographically associate multiple identifiers within a single authorized commercial session.

Each VI or HVI is bound to a Compliance Jurisdiction Token (CJT) or Hybrid CJT (HCJT) containing session identity, expiry, source and destination jurisdiction, consent or authorization evidence, anti-replay information, and applicable enterprise or transaction constraints. Protected mapping and verification functions operate within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or Hardware Security Module (HSM), with optional post-quantum cryptographic protection.

A Gateway Enforcement Module (GEM) validates the required VI–CJT relationship before permitting controlled SIP/VoIP calls, WebRTC sessions, email delivery, messaging operations, API transactions, payment instructions, or selected satellite communications. Signed revocation records and tamper-evident audit receipts provide mechanisms for invalidating authorization and verifying recorded decisions. Commercial sessions may be subject to these additional controls while ordinary personal communications remain on their existing protected channels.

Further embodiments address advertiser-origin binding, multi-advertiser isolation, lead-based and time-limited identities, virtual finance cards, AML/KYC-associated financial messaging, cross-border routing verification, caller-ID spoofing, one-time callbacks, and jurisdiction-aware satellite communications.

Big Tech Technical Relevance

The disclosed architecture has potential integration relevance to Apple Hide My Email, Safari privacy services, App Tracking Transparency and Apple Pay; Google Ads, Gemini-powered business calling and Google Voice; Meta Lead Ads, WhatsApp Business and Messenger; Microsoft Azure Communication Services, Teams Phone and Copilot; Amazon Connect and AWS protected computing; Twilio Programmable Voice, Messaging and Proxy; Booking.com guest communications; Visa, Mastercard and Stripe payment-token infrastructures; and Nokia, Qualcomm and global telecom network platforms.

For OpenAI ChatGPT agents, Anthropic Claude agents, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, the architecture presents a possible complementary identity and communication-authorization layer for agent-initiated bookings, business contact, messaging, and payments without routinely disclosing a user's permanent identifiers to external counterparties.

Industry Product and Future Roadmap Alignment — Three Strategic Opportunities

1. Apple — iOS, Safari, App Tracking Transparency, Hide My Email and Private Relay

Apple's established investment in privacy-preserving device and internet services provides a relevant product environment for the invention. App Tracking Transparency addresses defined cross-company tracking activities; Hide My Email and Sign in with Apple provide private email identities; and iCloud Private Relay protects selected browsing information.

The proposed VI–CJT architecture may complement these existing capabilities through commercial-session-specific identity substitution, advertiser-origin binding, cryptographically verified expiry and authorization, and controlled communication-gateway enforcement.

A potential implementation could allow an iOS application or AI assistant to create a temporary identity for a shopping inquiry, hotel booking, customer-support request or payment-related interaction, without routinely revealing the user's permanent telephone number or email address to the commercial counterparty.

Where participating services provide the necessary enforcement, an identity issued for one business or transaction could be prevented from being reused through the protected gateway for an unrelated advertiser or expired session.

Possible roadmap alignment: Enhanced commercial identity privacy, more granular relay permissions, privacy-preserving AI-assisted shopping and communication, and optional hardware-backed authorization features. Such capabilities could reinforce Apple's existing privacy differentiation while complementing—not replacing—its established tracking and relay protections.

2. Global Telecom Carriers — Verizon, AT&T, Orange, Vodafone, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel

Mobile network operators already possess important subscriber authentication, telecommunications routing, enterprise communication, fraud-prevention and network API capabilities. The development of GSMA Open Gateway, CAMARA APIs, Number Verification, SIM Swap detection, programmable network services and AI-native telecommunications creates a potential commercial environment for the disclosed invention.

The VI–CJT architecture could support a proposed Privacy-Preserving Verified Lead and Identity API in which participating businesses obtain cryptographically constrained, session-specific communication references rather than unrestricted access to customer telephone numbers.

A user-authorized business contact could be associated with an originating merchant, inquiry, permitted channel, jurisdiction, expiry and revocation condition. An operator-controlled or partner-controlled communication gateway would validate the required authorization before enabling the corresponding call, message or callback.

Permanent subscriber identifiers could remain within appropriately protected operator or identity-management systems, while selected commercial services receive only limited authorization references. Existing SIM/eSIM authentication and network verification could contribute evidence without assuming that the eSIM itself stores or enforces all commercial identity mappings.

Possible roadmap alignment: Trusted business-calling APIs, verified commercial contact, consent-aware customer engagement, programmable telecom identity, carrier–AI-agent integration and future 5G-Advanced/6G services.

The commercial opportunity includes new enterprise API transactions, premium verified-contact services, privacy-preserving lead handling, and revenue sharing with participating marketplaces and communication platforms. These opportunities are prospective and require commercial validation.

This approach could allow telecom operators to participate more directly in privacy-preserving digital commerce while supporting, rather than displacing, existing over-the-top messaging and business communication ecosystems.

3. Privacy-Focused Browsers, Email and Alias Platforms — DuckDuckGo, Proton, Mozilla, Fastmail and Cloudflare

Privacy-focused providers have established products that conceal permanent identifiers, reduce tracking, control email forwarding and allow users to deactivate unwanted contact channels.

Relevant existing technologies include DuckDuckGo Email Protection and private Duck Addresses; Proton Mail, Proton Pass and SimpleLogin; Mozilla Firefox Relay; Fastmail Masked Email; and Cloudflare Email Routing and Workers.

The proposed VI–CJT architecture may provide an additional technical layer beyond ordinary alias generation by associating selected temporary identities with cryptographically authenticated commercial-session scope, permitted senders, jurisdictional conditions, expiry, revocation and gateway-verifiable authorization evidence.

A browser, email service or password manager could potentially issue a transaction-specific alias for online shopping, recruitment, accommodation booking, account registration or AI-agent-mediated customer contact.

A participating relay or programmable email gateway would verify whether the requested communication remains within the authorized session.

For example, an email address issued for one accommodation inquiry could continue to support legitimate replies during the inquiry while refusing unauthorized reuse after its permitted scope expires.

Possible roadmap alignment: Premium session-based aliases, purpose-bound forwarding, protected commercial identity wallets, AI-agent privacy tools, interoperable identity APIs, and cryptographically verifiable relay services.

The disclosed architecture could support these companies' existing privacy objectives by extending user control from concealing the permanent identifier to verifying the permitted use of the temporary identity within a controlled service.

Industrial and Research Significance

Across these three industry groups, the proposed architecture offers a common technical concept: portable, session-specific commercial identity with protected authorization at an enforceable communication boundary.

Apple could investigate consumer-device and privacy-service integration. Telecom operators could evaluate network-backed verified-contact APIs. Privacy-first technology providers could explore advanced aliasing and relay authorization.

These applications are complementary. A user might initiate a commercial interaction through a privacy-focused browser, obtain a session-specific identity through a participating identity service, and communicate through an authorized carrier or cloud communication gateway.

The potential result would be a more interoperable framework for reducing unnecessary identity disclosure, restricting unauthorized commercial follow-up, and generating verifiable authorization evidence.

The architecture could also become relevant as autonomous AI agents increasingly perform commercial tasks on behalf of users. Agents could be provided with narrowly scoped communication identities appropriate to a specific booking, inquiry, purchase or service interaction instead of receiving unrestricted authority to disclose permanent identifiers.

The principal technical contribution is the proposed combination of session-specific pseudonymous identity, protected cryptographic authorization, protocol-bound enforcement, expiry and revocation, and verifiable audit evidence across multiple commercial communication and transaction channels.

Core Principle: An AI agent, business platform, or communications provider may facilitate an authorized interaction without automatically exposing a person's permanent identity or granting unrestricted future contact authority.

The disclosure concerns proposed technical mechanisms and their possible industrial applicability. Security coverage, performance, interoperability, lawful-processing determinations, and commercial advantages require implementation-specific and independent validation.
