Dynamic Digital Token for Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in managing and securing their identities across various computing systems, leading to issues with identity theft and fraud, as traditional methods require remembering multiple user identifiers and passwords, and are not optimal in preventing such threats.
Innovation Solution
A personal identity system that dynamically generates a unique digital token based on provided, learned, and derived personal, personality, and biometric information, using a Personal Identity Model (PIM) to create a secure unified personal identification system, which includes a Personal Identity Engine and Controller for secure transactions and access management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional user identifiers and passwords are used for access management, then users can access various computing systems, but security is compromised due to identity theft and fraud
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the user's biometric data (fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scan) to generate a token that represents the user's identity. This digital copy can be securely transmitted and verified without exposing the actual biometric data, thus enhancing security while maintaining ease of access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (typing passwords, physical keys) with biometric-based digital token authentication. This substitution eliminates the need for users to remember complex passwords while providing stronger security through unique biological characteristics.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple user identifiers and passwords are required for different systems, then access to various computing systems is enabled, but complexity of identity management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal biometric token that can be used across multiple computing systems and applications. Instead of requiring separate credentials for each system, a single biometric-based token provides universal access, eliminating the need for users to manage multiple identifiers and passwords while maintaining system-specific security requirements.
3Ease of operation
If static identification methods are used, then simple access verification is achieved, but susceptibility to identity theft and fraud increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generates dynamic tokens that are continuously updated and invalidated after use. Each authentication attempt creates a new token that cannot be reused, transforming static identification into a dynamic process. This ensures that even if one token is compromised, it cannot be used for future authentication, thereby preventing fraud while maintaining simple verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of identification from static (fixed passwords) to dynamic (time-limited, single-use tokens generated from biometric data). This parameter change ensures that authentication credentials are constantly changing, making them useless to thieves who intercept them, while keeping the user experience simple through biometric verification.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and a digital token for user identity verification comprise a control device for communicating over a network. The control device executes program applications and displays outputs to a user. A server communicates over the network to the control device and to other devices. The server comprises a personal identity model, a personal identity engine and a personal identity controller. The personal identity model collects and stores user information comprising personal information, personality, and biometric information. The personal identity engine processes the stored user information to produce the digital token. The personal identity controller manages exchange of the digital token in a user identity verification process. A claim point exchanges the digital token with the server in the user identity verification process in which upon verification the user's identity, the claim point provides a service to the user.
