According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The disclosure describes a data protection service that generates semantic descriptions of protected data volumes. The data protection service queries a monitoring service with the generated semantic descriptions. The monitoring service responds to the queries with indications of whether and data items on the dark web match the semantic descriptions. When a query receives a positive response from the monitoring service, the data protection service iteratively refines the semantic description and queries the monitoring service with the refined semantic descriptions until a breach is detected. Once a breach is detected, the data protection service initiates a mitigation action."
