Browser Authentication Display Module for Website Security Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network browsers cannot effectively identify and display authentication information for websites, making it difficult for users to determine the security and authenticity of visited websites, especially when illegal sites mimic standard website addresses.
Innovation Solution
A method and browser implementation that acquire and display authentication parameter information from a network address authentication server after a network address change event, using cloud query, which includes display picture information generated based on the source and type of authentication information, ensuring real-time authentication display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network browser displays only network address without authentication information, then the browser interface remains simple and loading speed is fast, but users cannot identify the security and authenticity of websites
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication information display module as an intermediary component between the browser and the user. This module specifically displays authentication information (such as website security status, authenticity verification) next to the address bar without fundamentally changing the browser's core architecture. The intermediary module only activates when authentication information is available, thus improving reliability while minimizing impact on device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent copies authentication information from external authentication servers and displays it within the browser interface. Instead of requiring the browser to perform complex authentication verification itself, the system obtains authentication results from dedicated authentication services and presents them to users through a simplified display mechanism, thereby improving website identification capability without significantly increasing browser complexity.
2Loss of information
If browser acquires authentication information from cloud server, then users can obtain real-time authentication status, but network dependency increases and information loss may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a mechanism where the browser proactively queries authentication information from cloud servers when the user enters a website address or when the page loads. By performing this authentication check in advance (before user interaction), the system ensures authentication information is available when needed, reducing information loss while maintaining reliability through timely data acquisition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the browser continuously monitors whether authentication information is available and updates the display accordingly. When authentication information is obtained from the cloud server, the system provides visual feedback to users. This feedback loop ensures that users receive real-time authentication status while the system can adapt to network conditions, balancing information completeness with display reliability.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention are a method for displaying website authentication information and a browser, the method comprising: acquiring, by cloud query, authentication parameter information of a website provided by a network address authentication server after a network address change event is triggered, wherein the authentication parameter information at least comprises display picture information of authentication information, and the display picture information of the authentication information is generated by the network address authentication server according to the source of the authentication information and website type information; and displaying the authentication information of the website in the browser according to the authentication parameter information. According to the technical solution provided by the present invention, the information authenticated by authority can be displayed in real time when users visit the website, enabling the users to have a proper understanding of the security of the currently-visited website.
