Abstract

A computing system includes: a control unit configured to: determine a protocol profile including a first protocol and a second protocol for communicating between a first device and a second device, generate a unified-protocol privacy mechanism for a privacy protection scenario, the unified-protocol privacy mechanism based on combining the first protocol and the second protocol; and a communication unit, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate content information according to the unified-protocol privacy mechanism between the first device and the second device.

Claims

1. A computing system comprising:

a control unit including at least one processor configured to;

determine a protocol profile including a first protocol and a second protocol for communicating between a first device and a second device with each protocol including a unique order of communication exchanges between the first device and the second device according to a protocol scenario corresponding to each protocol,

generate a unified-protocol privacy mechanism based on combining the first protocol and the second protocol for implementing a common order of communication exchanges for both instances of the protocol scenario instead of the first protocol and the second protocol; and

a communication unit including microelectronics, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate content information according to the unified-protocol privacy mechanism between the first device and the second device for both instances of the protocol scenario for preventing recognition of the content based on recognition of the unique order.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the control unit is configured to generate a cache-communication profile controlling a content share time for communicating the content information;

the communication unit is configured to communicate the content information according to the cache-communication profile; and

further comprising;

a storage unit including memory, coupled to the control unit, configured to store the content information according to the cache-communication profile.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder node for communicating the content information between the first device and the second device.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the protocol profile includes a private sharing mechanism for the first protocol and a vector testing mechanism for the second protocol; and

the communication unit is configured to communicate the content information based on a relevant location.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to:

identify a protocol key for communicating between the first device and the second device; and

generate a counter value encrypted with the protocol key for communicating the counter value between the first device and the second device.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the unified-protocol privacy mechanism independent of a privacy rating associated with a relevant location.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the unified-protocol privacy mechanism includes a unified format for communicating a counter value, a first direction field, a second direction field, a vector, or a combination thereof.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 the control unit is configured to generate the unified-protocol privacy mechanism including a unified sequence for communicating initial data, for calculating a vector product, for determining a vector, or a combination thereof.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder content independent of the content information.

10. A method of operation of a computing system comprising:

determining a protocol profile including a first protocol and a second protocol for communicating between a first device and a second device with each protocol including a unique order of communication exchanges between the first device and the second device according to a protocol scenario corresponding to each protocol;

generating a unified-protocol privacy mechanism with a control unit based on combining the first protocol and the second protocol for implementing a common order of communication exchanges for both instances of the protocol scenario instead of the first protocol and the second protocol; and

communicating content information according to the unified-protocol privacy mechanism between the first device and the second device for both instances of the protocol scenario for preventing recognition of the content based on recognition of the unique order.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 further comprising:

generating a cache-communication profile controlling a content share time for communicating the content information;

storing the content information according to the cache-communication profile; and

wherein;

communicating the content information includes communicating the content information according to the cache-communication profile.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism includes generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder content independent of the content information.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism includes generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder node for communicating the content information between the first device and the second device.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for a computing system comprising:

determining a protocol profile including a first protocol and a second protocol for communicating between a first device and a second device with each protocol including a unique order of communication exchanges between the first device and the second device according to a protocol scenario corresponding to each protocol;

generating a unified-protocol privacy mechanism based on combining the first protocol and the second protocol for implementing a common order of communication exchanges for both instances of the protocol scenario instead of the first protocol and the second protocol; and

communicating content information according to the unified-protocol privacy mechanism between the first device and the second device for both instances of the protocol scenario for preventing recognition of the content based on recognition of the unique order.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 14 further comprising:

generating a cache-communication profile controlling a content share time for communicating the content information;

storing the content information according to the cache-communication profile; and

wherein;

communicating the content information includes communicating the content information according to the cache-communication profile.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 14 wherein generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism includes generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder content independent of the content information.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 14 wherein generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism includes generating the unified-protocol privacy mechanism utilizing a placeholder node for communicating the content information between the first device and the second device.
