Data Breach Detection via Segmented Authorization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Distributed computing systems face vulnerabilities due to inadequate security measures, leaving sensitive data susceptible to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a multi-layered security system that requires multiple authorization steps, including unique identifier generation and encryption schemes, to securely store and protect sensitive data. This system adjusts security levels based on potential data breach detection, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing system performance and longevity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple authorization steps and encryption schemes are implemented, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The security system is segmented into multiple independent authorization steps and encryption layers. Each layer operates independently to provide specific security functions, allowing the system to achieve high security without requiring a single complex monolithic system. The segmentation enables modular implementation of security measures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces multiple dimensions of security protection by implementing both authorization steps and encryption schemes simultaneously. This multi-dimensional approach adds security layers without collapsing into a single complex mechanism, resolving the contradiction between security improvement and complexity reduction.
2Reliability
If security measures are enhanced to prevent data breaches, then data protection is improved, but system performance may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary security checks and authorization steps before data processing operations. By validating credentials and checking security conditions in advance, the system prevents security issues from blocking performance operations, thereby maintaining high system performance while ensuring data protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor security conditions and adjust authorization decisions in real-time. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain optimal performance by enabling operations when security conditions are met and blocking only when necessary, rather than imposing continuous performance restrictions.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure deals with a system and a method to determine if an unauthorized user is attempting to access securely stored data. A user enters and stores sensitive data on a user device using a first computing system. The first computing system gathers sensitive data from the user device and stores the data on a second computing system. If the first computing system detects a potential data breach when trying to access the securely stored data, the first computing system may request the user to enter a subset of the securely stored data to confirm that the user has access to the securely stored data. The second computing system verifies the subset against the securely stored data and the securely stored data is made accessible to the user. If the second computing system is unable to verify the subset the second computing system triggers an event.
