    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, an electronic device may obtain a service-specific alias that is specific to a device-identified set of services. The service-specific alias may be separate from an account alias for an account and configured to allow or deny communications to one or more devices associated with the account via the set of services. In one or more implementations, the service-specific alias is associated with a conferencing service and a conferencing session. An initiating user can provide an invitation to the conferencing session with the service-specific alias, so that participants can contact the initiating user via the service-specific alias for permission to join the conferencing session (e.g., without revealing the permanent contact information of the initiating user). In this way, the privacy of the initiating user can be preserved.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for device-relationship based communication includes at least one processor configured to establish, by a first device associated with a first user, a secure communication channel with a second device associated with a second user via a direct wireless connection. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, over the secure communication channel, first device-identifying information to the second device, and receive, over the secure communication channel, second device-identifying information from the second device. The at least one processor is configured to establish a particular type of relationship with the second device, store the second device-identifying information in association with an indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device, and transmit, to the second device and over the secure communication channel, the indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device.

    Abstract: A method is provided that includes receiving, at a media device and from a client device, a request for a temporary identifier for a group chat session, and provisioning, by the media device, the temporary identifier based on a device identifier of the media device. The media device provides the temporary identifier to the client device. The media device receives from a server an invitation to join the group chat session, where the invitation is directed to the temporary identifier, and the media device joins the group chat session.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, a device may obtain a link that corresponds to a call with a second device, encrypt a request to join the call using a key obtained using the link, and send the encrypted request to a server for delivery to the second device. The link may also include information used to identify an alias for an account associated with the second device. The device may send the encrypted request to the server with the alias. The device may receive an encrypted response to the request from the server, obtain an identifier of the call from the encrypted response, and then receive an invitation to join the call associated with the identifier.
