Connector Access Management for Trusted Public Information Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a demand for preventing alteration of public information in digital certificates associated with data of each user and simplifying the process for acquiring public information on connectors connected to distributed data storage, particularly in the context of data distribution infrastructure that maintains data sovereignty and security.
Innovation Solution
A management device and method that includes a memory and processing circuitry to manage connector use, authenticate users, issue digital certificates, and register connector IDs, ensuring secure and simplified access to distributed data storage via a communications service provider's platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual processes are used for acquiring and registering public information on connectors, then flexibility and control are maintained, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring public information from government infrastructure before connector registration is needed. The management device proactively retrieves digital certificates and register information, storing them in advance so that connector registration can proceed without manual information gathering delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device performs self-service by automatically acquiring, verifying, and registering public information without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously queries government digital certificate infrastructure, validates responses, and completes registration procedures, eliminating the need for operators to manually gather and input public information.
2Productivity
If automated systems are introduced to simplify the acquisition process, then efficiency improves, but security risks and potential alterations of public information increase
Solution Approach 1:
The management device serves as a trusted intermediary between the connector registration system and government digital certificate infrastructure. It autonomously queries authoritative government sources, validates received information against established criteria, and only registers verified public information, thereby maintaining integrity while enabling automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the management device continuously verifies public information against government infrastructure and logs registration activities. This feedback loop ensures that any attempted alterations or errors are detected and corrected, maintaining information integrity throughout the automated process.
3Reliability
If comprehensive authentication and verification procedures are implemented, then security and prevention of information alteration are improved, but the process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication and verification as preliminary actions during the connector registration process itself, rather than as separate subsequent steps. The management device verifies public information integrity and authenticates digital certificates during initial registration, ensuring security without adding post-registration delays.
Data Source
AI summary
A management device that manages use of a connector connectable to distributed data storage via a first communication line provided by a first communications service provider, includes a memory and processing circuitry configured to accept, from a first business terminal of a first corporation, an application for use of the connector by the first corporation, via the first communication line, acquire an authentication result for a line number on the first communication line of the first business terminal at a time of the application for use, and compare contractor information on the first corporation for the first communication line with information related to the first corporation accepted from the first business terminal at the time of the application for use and the authentication result for the line number of the first business terminal at the time of the application for use.
