Cross-Authentication Linkage for Secure User-Mobile Body Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to accurately track the use relationship between a user and a mobile body, such as a rental car, while ensuring security, particularly in situations where the actual use does not align with contractual or reserved dates, and this issue extends to other mobile bodies and objects.
Innovation Solution
A management system involving first and second servers that perform cross-authentication of targets based on unique identifiers, with a management server setting a correspondence between these identifiers when both targets are successfully authenticated, ensuring security through cross-verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single server performs authentication, then the system is simpler, but security is insufficient for tracking use relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is divided into multiple independent servers (first server, second server, management server), each performing specific authentication tasks. This segmentation enhances security through distributed verification while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear division of responsibilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The management server acts as an intermediary that receives authentication results from both the first and second servers, coordinates the cross-authentication process, and establishes the use relationship. This intermediary structure enables secure multi-party verification without requiring direct complex interactions between all components.
2Reliability
If cross-authentication is performed between multiple servers, then security is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Authentication credentials and target information are pre-configured and prepared before the actual authentication process. This preliminary preparation enables the multiple servers to perform cross-verification more efficiently, reducing the time penalty associated with multi-server authentication while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process is designed to proceed continuously across multiple servers without unnecessary interruptions or sequential waiting. The first server, second server, and management server operate in a coordinated manner where authentication actions flow continuously, minimizing total processing time while ensuring each verification step is completed.
Data Source
AI summary
A management system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a first server, a second server, and a management server. When a use relationship occurs between a first target and a second target, the first server authenticates the first target in response to a request from a second terminal of the second target, and the second server authenticates the second target in response to a request from a first terminal of the first target. The management server receives results of the authentication from the servers, and sets a correspondence between a first identifier of the first target and a second identifier of the second target when both the first target and the second target have successfully been authenticated.
