Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resource access control methods are static and fail to dynamically adjust permission levels in response to changes in resource sensitivity, leading to improper access control and potential security hazards.
Innovation Solution
A resource permission management method and apparatus that monitors the sensitivity of target resources and adjusts permission levels accordingly, allowing for timely and dynamic changes in access control based on the resource's sensitivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If permission levels are defined statically based on current resource content, then the access control structure is simple and easy to manage, but the system cannot respond to dynamic changes in resource sensitivity, leading to improper access control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic permission level adjustment by continuously monitoring resource sensitivity and automatically updating permission levels in response to sensitivity changes. This transforms the static permission management system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing resource characteristics, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the monitoring module continuously detects resource sensitivity changes and feeds this information to the permission level adjustment module. This closed-loop feedback enables the system to automatically respond to sensitivity changes without manual intervention, achieving adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through automation.
2Reliability
If permission levels are not adjusted timely when resource content changes, then the access control configuration remains stable, but security hazards arise when sensitive information is exposed to unauthorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring module operates continuously to detect resource sensitivity changes in real-time, ensuring that permission levels are always aligned with current resource characteristics. This continuous monitoring eliminates delays in detecting sensitivity changes, maintaining security reliability without time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system proactively adjusts permission levels before security incidents can occur by continuously monitoring for sensitivity changes and automatically updating access controls. This preliminary action prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information by ensuring permission levels are updated in advance of potential security risks.
3Reliability
If permission levels are adjusted frequently to match resource sensitivity changes, then security is maintained, but system performance decreases due to continuous monitoring and adjustment operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic monitoring of resource sensitivity rather than continuous monitoring, adjusting permission levels at regular intervals or when triggered by significant changes. This periodic approach maintains security reliability by detecting sensitivity changes while reducing the performance overhead associated with constant monitoring and adjustment operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors changes in resource sensitivity parameters and only adjusts permission levels when significant parameter changes are detected. This selective adjustment approach maintains security by responding to meaningful changes while minimizing unnecessary system operations that would degrade performance.
4Reliability
If high permission levels are set for all resources to ensure security, then security is improved, but resource utilization decreases as legitimate users cannot access resources they should be able to use
Solution Approach 1:
The system assigns different permission levels to different resources based on their specific sensitivity characteristics rather than applying a uniform high permission level to all resources. This local quality approach ensures that each resource receives the appropriate level of access control, maintaining security for sensitive resources while ensuring accessibility for less sensitive resources.
Solution Approach 2:
Permission levels are dynamically adjusted based on the actual sensitivity of each resource rather than being statically set to high levels for all resources. This dynamic approach allows legitimate users to access resources they should be able to use while maintaining security for resources that require protection, resolving the contradiction between security and accessibility.
Data Source
AI summary
A resource permission management method is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a processor, a sensitivity of a target resource, and when the sensitivity of the target resource changes, adjusting, by the processor, a permission level of the target resource according to the sensitivity of the target resource.
