Cellular-Signaled Access Control With Dynamic Keys and Bot Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Legacy and Analog User Name And Password (UNAP) based security is compromised due to users opting for easy-to-remember passwords, leading to increased data security breaches and privacy concerns, with users becoming reluctant to disclose personal data. Additionally, existing authentication methods like MSISDN-based 2FA are vulnerable to interception and automation, and BOTS are difficult to detect, skewing online data and influencing opinions.
Innovation Solution
Implement a cellular-signaled access control system using a STARKEY Platform that generates a random access control digital key, requiring users to dial a series of randomized digits within a time frame, leveraging cellular network authentication to verify identities, and using a STAR Challenge to distinguish between human and automated inputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users use easy-to-remember passwords for authentication, then ease of operation is improved, but security reliability deteriorates due to increased data breaches and privacy concerns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cellular network-based intermediary authentication system that replaces direct user password entry with cellular signal-based verification. The access controlling platform receives cellular signals from authenticated devices and uses these signals as intermediaries to verify user identity and grant access, eliminating the need for users to directly provide passwords while maintaining security through cellular network authentication mechanisms
2Device complexity
If traditional username and password methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information increases due to data breaches and privacy concerns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication verification function from the traditional username/password paradigm and relocates it to the cellular network signaling layer. By taking out the authentication mechanism from application-level data storage and moving it to the cellular network's inherent authentication systems, the system eliminates the need for users to store and transmit personal data, thereby preventing information loss while maintaining manageable system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical/manual process of typing and storing passwords with an automated cellular signal-based authentication mechanism. The system replaces the traditional mechanical input method with cellular network signaling that automatically verifies user identity through the cellular infrastructure, eliminating data storage requirements and preventing breaches without increasing user-facing complexity
3Reliability
If MSISDN-based 2FA is implemented, then security reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to vulnerability to interception and automation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic authentication elements by generating random access control digital keys that change with each authentication attempt. Instead of using static MSISDN-based codes that can be intercepted and reused, the system generates new random keys for each authentication transaction, making the system dynamic and resistant to interception attacks while maintaining user convenience through automated cellular signal verification
4Productivity
If automated authentication systems are used, then productivity is improved, but object-generated harmful factors increase due to BOTS skewing data and influencing opinions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the access controlling platform receives and analyzes cellular signals during the authentication process. By monitoring the cellular signaling patterns, timing, and behavior of authentication attempts, the system can detect anomalies that indicate automated BOT activity. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain high authentication throughput for legitimate users while identifying and blocking automated attempts that would skew data and influence opinions
