Compliance Score Access Control for Dynamic Attribute Requirements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively control access to secure resources based on the compliance of entities with dynamic attribute requirements, often neglecting external identity metrics and changes in compliance standards.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating compliance graphs and scores that aggregate attribute data against requirement data, comparing the score to a threshold, and controlling access to interactive computing environments based on this assessment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If access control systems check compliance with attribute requirements, then security and compliance are improved, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the compliance verification process into distinct modules: attribute data collection, requirement definition, compliance score calculation, threshold comparison, and access control decision. Each module handles a specific aspect of the compliance check, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable while improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The compliance score acts as an intermediary metric that aggregates multiple attribute requirements into a single evaluatable value. This intermediary simplifies the comparison process by transforming complex multi-attribute compliance checks into a straightforward threshold comparison, reducing system complexity while maintaining thorough security verification
2Measurement precision
If the system aggregates compliance data from multiple identities, then compliance assessment accuracy is improved, but memory usage and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates compliance scores for individual identities or groups rather than continuously monitoring all attributes of all identities. By performing compliance aggregation on demand or periodically rather than in real-time for every attribute change, the system maintains accurate compliance assessment while significantly reducing processing time and computational overhead
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system monitors changes in compliance requirements, then adaptability to dynamic requirements is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where compliance requirements are continuously monitored and updated. When requirements change, the system automatically recalculates compliance scores for affected identities and updates access control decisions. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to dynamic requirements while maintaining a relatively simple architecture by reacting to changes rather than anticipating them
