Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing verification systems for digital 3D spaces face challenges in balancing security and user-friendliness, particularly in augmented and virtual reality environments, where malicious entities can exploit insecure verification challenges to compromise systems.
Innovation Solution
A verification system that uses a secured application on a user device to receive verification challenges from a verification server, locks specific sensors to complete challenges, and employs a trained model to determine verification success, ensuring security and user-friendliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If verification challenges are made more difficult to improve security, then unauthorized access is reduced, but authorized users struggle to complete verification
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different verification difficulty levels to different users based on their authorization status. Authorized users receive verification challenges tailored to their device characteristics that are solvable, while unauthorized users face challenges designed to be unsolvable, creating local quality differences in verification difficulty across different user groups
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes verification challenge parameters based on device sensor characteristics. By analyzing available sensors and their capabilities, the system adjusts challenge parameters to ensure authorized users can complete verification while maintaining security against unauthorized access attempts
2Ease of operation
If verification challenges are made easier to improve user-friendliness, then authorized users can complete verification easily, but unauthorized users can successfully compromise the system
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates local quality differences by providing easy-to-complete verification challenges specifically to authorized users based on their device characteristics, while simultaneously presenting impossible challenges to unauthorized users, thus maintaining both user-friendliness for legitimate users and security against attackers
Solution Approach 2:
The verification server acts as an intermediary that mediates between security requirements and user-friendliness. It analyzes device characteristics and intermediate sensor data to determine appropriate challenge difficulty levels, serving as a mediator that balances security needs with user experience without requiring extreme measures on either side
3Ease of operation
If the same verification challenge is repeatedly used to improve user-friendliness, then users become accustomed to completing it, but security is reduced as malicious entities can break the challenge
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates and changes verification challenges based on real-time analysis of device sensor characteristics and usage patterns. This dynamic adaptation ensures challenges remain solvable for authorized users while preventing unauthorized entities from breaking through repeated use of static challenges
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that analyze device characteristics and verification attempt outcomes to continuously adjust challenge parameters. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain user-friendliness by learning from successful completions while simultaneously improving security by adapting to prevent repeated compromise attempts
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for verifying a user. A method includes receiving a verification challenge request including data indicative of a plurality of sensors. The method includes determining, based on the data, one or more verification challenges which are encrypted and delivered to a secured application executing on the user device. The method includes causing the secured application to lock at least one sensor that is used for the verification challenge and to process data from the at least one sensor. The method includes determining that the user is verified based on the processed data from the at least one sensor, and causing an application executing on the user device to provide the user access to at least one resource of the application.
