Existential Biometric Identification Infrastructure for Resource Provenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern connected computing lacks a coherent, secure, and interoperable framework for identifying and evaluating the vast array of resources and events, leading to inefficient, unreliable, and insecure identification of computing resources, which can result in misleading and malicious content, undermining productivity and trustworthiness.
Innovation Solution
An Existential Biometric Identification Network (EBInet) system that employs near existential or existential biometric identification to provide secure, reliable, and ubiquitously available identification information for resources and events, using tamper-resistant devices to ensure authenticity and provenance assessment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional connected computing identification methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability and security of resource identification deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an Existential Biometric Identification Network (EBInet) as an intermediary infrastructure that mediates between computing resources and identification verification. This network provides a standardized framework for existential biometric identification, allowing resources to be identified and evaluated without each individual device needing complex identification capabilities. The EBInet handles the complexity of biometric verification centrally, while individual devices can participate through standardized interfaces.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If existential biometric identification is implemented, then security and provenance assessment improve, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal identification framework that can handle multiple types of resources (human participants, devices, software, webpages, media, documents, communication instances) through a single existential biometric identification system. This multi-functional approach allows the same identification mechanism to secure diverse computing resources without requiring separate identification processes for each resource type, thereby maintaining ease of operation while providing comprehensive security.
3Adaptability or versatility
If standardized identification framework is deployed, then interoperability and resource evaluation improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification system into distinct functional components: the EBInet infrastructure that provides standardized identification protocols, resource-specific modules that implement identification for different resource types, and evaluation components that assess resource suitability. This segmentation allows each component to be developed and maintained independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining interoperability across different resource types through standardized interfaces.

AI summary
Connected computing enables the use of highly diverse environments that support operating frameworks for contemporary civilization. But computing productivity and trustworthiness are undermined by such environments' largely inchoate organization. These environments and their identity infrastructures are fragmented, and unnecessarily unreliable, insecure, and insufficiently informative due to current computing entity (e.g., resource) identification infrastructure design, which lacks root identification reliability. Such reliability is enabled herein by a fundamentally accurate and authenticity ensuring, near-existential or existential quality, biometrically and liveness based, portable identification and provenance infrastructure. Such an infrastructure provides ubiquitously available identification information that can be used universally for identification processes. Such biometrically and liveness-based identification information can be contemporaneously acquired and securely fused with or otherwise bound to associated entity identification information sets. Such sets are used to identify and assess entity suitability and/or authenticity, and/or establish user identity (specific human entity) for personal, societal, and organizational activities.
