Adaptive Security Module Transmission for Hacking Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing authentication systems are vulnerable to hacking tools like browser helper objects (BHOs) and key loggers, which intercept user authentication information, making it difficult for users to select effective security measures.
Innovation Solution
A security authentication system that provides multiple security levels, transmitting corresponding security modules to user terminals based on their environment, using a combination of script language, Flash, and ActiveX to encrypt and protect user IDs and passwords, and generate fake signals to prevent exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple security modules are provided with different security levels, then security reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is segmented into multiple security levels (first, second, third security levels), each with its own dedicated security module. This allows the system to provide different degrees of security protection based on user needs and terminal environments, improving security reliability while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects and transmits appropriate security modules based on the user terminal's environment and capabilities. The server determines which security level to apply by checking terminal characteristics, and automatically provides the corresponding security module, making the security system adaptive rather than static.
2Ease of operation
If the server automatically determines security level based on terminal environment, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs automatic security level determination by checking the user terminal's environment and capabilities. The system self-adjusts the security level without requiring manual user configuration, improving ease of operation. The server autonomously selects and transmits the appropriate security module based on terminal characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from terminal environment detection to automatically adjust security levels. The server checks terminal capabilities and uses this information to determine the appropriate security module to transmit, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user needs without manual intervention.
3Reliability
If encryption and fake signal generation are used, then security against hacking is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Security modules are transmitted and prepared in advance before actual authentication is needed. The system proactively provides the appropriate security module based on terminal environment detection, so that when authentication is required, the protective measures are already in place, reducing the time penalty during actual login operations.
Data Source
AI summary
Authentication system and method are provided. The authentication system includes: a server configured to provide at least two security levels and configured to transmit one of at least two security modules corresponding to the security level of a user terminal, via communications network, to the user terminal based, at least in part, upon an environment of the user terminal; and an authentication server communicatively linked with the server and configured to perform a user authentication in response to a user authentication request from the user terminal. Accordingly, various hackings can be prevented and the user authentication can be accomplished with user's convenience and security.
