Solution Overview

Problem

Existing collaboration platforms lack effective mechanisms for participants to provide verifiable attestations, and attackers with weak or stolen credentials can access enterprise systems using deepfakes to deceive users.

Innovation Solution

Integrate strong authentication with collaborative services using cryptographically signed attestations rooted in a hardware root of trust, such as a trusted platform module, to verify participant identities and provide attestation indications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If strong authentication with SSO is implemented, then user convenience and security are improved, but attackers with stolen credentials can still access systems using deepfakes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoiddeepfake attack vulnerability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an authentication mediator that sits between the SSO system and the collaboration platform. This mediator verifies not just credentials but also device integrity and user behavior patterns, creating an intermediate layer of verification that prevents deepfake attacks even when credentials are compromised.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes authentication parameters based on risk assessment. When deepfake detection is suspected, the system adjusts verification thresholds, requires additional authentication factors, or implements stricter device integrity checks, transforming static authentication into adaptive security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If traditional authentication mechanisms are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but effective verification of participant identities cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication system simplicityVSAvoididentity verification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system is segmented into multiple independent verification components: credential verification, device integrity checking, biometric authentication, and behavior analysis. Each segment handles a specific aspect of identity verification, allowing the system to maintain simplicity at each layer while achieving high overall accuracy through cumulative verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
