API Access Permission Control Under Dynamic Security Risk
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data access systems lack flexibility and adaptability to changing security risks, often providing all-or-nothing access without considering dynamic security conditions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system with datapath and access modules that manage third-party access based on real-time risk assessments, allowing seamless migration between different core processing systems and dynamic adjustment of access permissions according to security risk levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all-or-nothing data access is provided to third parties, then data security is maintained through strict control, but data access flexibility and adaptability to changing security risks deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic access control by continuously monitoring risk indicators and automatically adjusting data access permissions in real-time. The system transitions from static all-or-nothing access to dynamic permission management where access levels change based on current security risk assessments of third parties.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes access parameters (permission levels, data scope, time limits) based on risk assessment results. When risk indicators change, the system automatically modifies access parameters to maintain security while preserving necessary data flow, resolving the contradiction between security and flexibility.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If strict access control is implemented to maintain security, then security risks are reduced, but system complexity and difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically monitoring risk indicators, assessing third-party security postures, and adjusting access permissions without manual intervention. This automation reduces operational complexity while maintaining strict security control through continuous self-evaluation and adaptive response.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where risk monitoring data flows back to the access control module, which automatically adjusts permissions accordingly. This closed-loop control simplifies operation by eliminating manual security management while maintaining sophisticated risk-based access control.
3Productivity
If all data access permissions are granted initially, then data access productivity is maximized, but security exposure increases when security risks change over time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary risk assessments before granting data access permissions and continues monitoring throughout the access period. By proactively evaluating security risks before and during data sharing, the system ensures high productivity when safe while preventing security exposure through continuous preliminary verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts data access permissions based on real-time risk assessments, transitioning from static initial permissions to adaptive permission management. This allows the system to maintain high productivity when third parties are secure while automatically reducing security exposure when risks emerge.
