Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current user authentication and access control methods, such as password-based systems, are vulnerable to hacking and cracking, necessitating more effective technologies for enhancing computer security.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the parsing of bit streams into multiple equally sized strings, alternating between different modes to output varying sequences, which are used for authentication and access control, creating a dynamic and secure password-like system that switches between different string outputs to enhance security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional password-based authentication methods are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but security reliability deteriorates due to vulnerability to hacking and cracking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic authentication by alternating between different output modes (first mode and second mode) that generate different string sequences. The system dynamically switches between these modes during authentication, making it difficult for attackers to predict or reproduce the authentication mechanism while maintaining operational simplicity for authorized users through automated mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the authentication process into multiple independent components: a first plurality of strings generated in the first mode, a second plurality of strings generated in the second mode, and alternating output sequences. This segmentation creates a complex authentication mechanism that appears simple to operate while providing enhanced security through multiple layers of string sequences.
2Reliability
If password hacking protection is enhanced, then security reliability improves, but device complexity increases due to additional authentication mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic action by alternating between the first mode and second mode in a regular pattern during authentication. This periodic switching between different string generation modes creates a complex security mechanism that can be implemented through systematic alternation rather than requiring complex randomization or cryptographic operations, thereby enhancing security while controlling system complexity.
3Reliability
If multiple string sequences are used for authentication, then security against cracking improves, but loss of time increases due to longer authentication processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using alternating sequences of the first and second plurality of strings rather than requiring complete sequences or multiple rounds of authentication. This approach provides enhanced security through mode alternation while limiting the authentication time by using a controlled number of alternating strings rather than exhaustive verification processes.

AI summary
A system including: at least one processor; and at least one memory, having stored thereon computer program code that, when executed by the at least one processor, controls the at least one processor to: receive a first sequence of values; segment the first sequence of values into a first subsequence having a first length and a second subsequence having a second length; modify the first subsequence by inserting one or more values into the first subsequence to create a modified first subsequence of a third length; modify the second subsequence by one or more inserting values into the second subsequence to create a modified second subsequence of the third length; combine the modified first subsequence and the modified second subsequence to create a second sequence of values; and output the second sequence of values.
