Web Traversal Data Engine

Browser Cash's Web Traversal Data Engine enables privacy-preserving collection, processing, and utilization of web interaction patterns across the distributed node network, creating a continuously updating dataset for AI training.

System Architecture

The Traversal Data Engine implements a multi-layered approach to data collection and processing:

Element Identification and Interaction Significance

Semantic Element Classification

The system employs advanced techniques to identify and classify meaningful web elements:

interface ElementClassifier {
  selectors: Map<ElementRole, SelectorStrategy[]>;
  neuralClassifier: NeuralNetworkModel;
  heuristicEngine: HeuristicRules;
  historicalPerformance: PerformanceMetrics;
}

enum ElementRole {
  NAVIGATION,
  ACTION_BUTTON,
  FORM_INPUT,
  CONSENT_DIALOG,
  AUTHENTICATION,
  CONTENT_CONTAINER,
  ADVERTISEMENT,
  PAYWALL,
  CAPTCHA,
  INTERACTIVE_MEDIA
}

The element classification process:

1. Visual Analysis

   • Bounding box detection

   • Element rendering characteristics

   • Visual prominence calculation

   • Relative positioning analysis

2. Semantic Evaluation

   • ARIA role assessment

   • Text content analysis

   • Class and ID pattern matching

   • Structure and context evaluation

3. Behavioral Analysis

   • Historical interaction frequency

   • User attention patterns

   • Mouse hover dynamics

   • Scroll pause correlations

Interaction Value Assessment

Each captured interaction is evaluated for its significance:

interface InteractionValueMetrics {
  taskCompletion: number;       // 0.0-1.0
  informationGain: number;      // 0.0-1.0
  interactionEfficiency: number; // 0.0-1.0
  pathNovelty: number;          // 0.0-1.0
  outcomeSuccess: number;       // 0.0-1.0
}

class ValueAssessmentEngine {
  evaluateInteraction(event: InteractionEvent, context: SessionContext): InteractionValueMetrics;
  updateModelWeights(feedback: ValueFeedback): void;
  identifyHighValuePatterns(interactions: InteractionEvent[]): InteractionPattern[];
}

The system calculates interaction value through:

• Task completion correlation

  extractedAssets: Map<string, ArrayBuffer>;
}

enum ChallengeType {
  IMAGE_SELECTION,
  TEXT_BASED,
  SLIDER,
  PUZZLE,
  BEHAVIORAL,
  INVISIBLE,
  HONEYPOT,
  TIMING_BASED
}

The CAPTCHA analysis pipeline:

Cross-Site Pattern Recognition

The system correlates protection mechanisms across websites:

interface ProtectionCorrelation {
  techniqueId: string;
  implementationVariants: ImplementationVariant[];
  siteDistribution: Map<string, number>;
  effectivenessMetrics: EffectivenessMetrics;
  bypassCorrelation: BypassCorrelationMatrix;
}

This enables:

• Common protection provider identification

Intelligent Pattern Transfer

Cross-Domain Knowledge Application

The system enables the transfer of interaction patterns across similar websites:

interface DomainSimilarity {
  structuralSimilarity: number;
  functionalSimilarity: number;
  semanticSimilarity: number;
  interactionSimilarity: number;
  protectionSimilarity: number;
}

class CrossDomainMapper {
  calculateSimilarity(domain1: string, domain2: string): DomainSimilarity;
  mapElements(sourceElements: ElementMap, targetDomain: string): ElementMap;
  transferInteractionSequence(sequence: InteractionSequence, targetDomain: string): AdaptedSequence;
  evaluateTransferSuccess(originalSuccess: SuccessMetrics, transferSuccess: SuccessMetrics): TransferEffectiveness;
}

The pattern transfer process involves:

1. Structure Mapping

   • DOM hierarchy comparison

   • Visual layout similarity analysis

   • Content organization patterns

2. Interaction Translation

   • Element purpose matching

   • Interaction sequence adaptation

   • Timing pattern adjustment

3. Success Verification

   • Outcome correlation assessment

Dynamic Dataset Construction

Feature Engineering Pipeline

The system transforms raw interaction data into structured training features:

interface FeatureVector {
  interactionSequence: number[];
  elementProperties: Map<string, number[]>;
  temporalDynamics: number[];
  contextualFeatures: number[];
  outcomeIndicators: number[];
}

class FeatureExtractionPipeline {
  extractSessionFeatures(session: BrowsingSession): FeatureVector[];
  extractElementFeatures(element: WebElement): number[];
  extractSequenceFeatures(sequence: InteractionSequence): number[];
  normalizeFeatures(features: number[]): number[];
  selectFeatures(features: number[], importance: number[]): number[];
}

Key feature engineering techniques:

• Element property vectorization

interface DatasetOptimization {
  deduplication: DeduplicationStrategy;
  balancing: ClassBalancingStrategy;
  augmentation: DataAugmentationTechniques;
  validation: CrossValidationApproach;
  versioning: DatasetVersioningSystem;
}

The optimization process includes:

• Redundancy elimination with diversity preservation

Privacy-Preserving Analytics

Federated Learning Implementation

The system employs federated learning to improve models without centralizing sensitive data:

interface FederatedLearningConfig {
  localEpochs: number;
  minClientsPerRound: number;
  aggregationStrategy: AggregationStrategy;
  diffPrivacyBudget: number;
  gradientCompression: CompressionLevel;
  secureCommunication: SecureChannelConfig;
}

class FederatedModelTrainer {
  distributeModelUpdate(modelUpdate: ModelDelta): void;
  collectClientUpdates(clientId: string, update: ModelDelta): void;
  aggregateUpdates(updates: Map<string, ModelDelta>): ModelDelta;
  applyAggregatedUpdate(currentModel: Model, update: ModelDelta): Model;
  evaluateGlobalModel(model: Model, testSet: TestData): ModelPerformance;
}

Security measures within the federated learning system:

• Secure aggregation to prevent individual exposure

• Differential privacy applied to model updates

• Secure computation for aggregation

interface PrivacyBudget {
  epsilon: number;
  delta: number;
  consumptionLog: BudgetConsumptionEvent[];
  remainingBudget: number;
  resetSchedule: BudgetResetSchedule;
}

class PrivacyAccountant {
  trackMechanism(mechanism: PrivacyMechanism, parameters: MechanismParameters): void;
  calculateComposedImpact(mechanisms: PrivacyMechanism[]): PrivacyImpact;
  enforcePrivacyBounds(operation: DataOperation, budget: PrivacyBudget): boolean;
  optimizeNoiseAllocation(operations: DataOperation[], totalBudget: PrivacyBudget): NoiseAllocation;
