Endpoint Path Generation for User Authentication

The patent segments the authentication system by generating unique endpoint paths for each user based on their cryptographic public keys. Instead of a single generic path, the system divides the authentication space into user-specific segments, where each user's public key derives a distinct endpoint path. This segmentation maintains ease of operation through automated key-based path generation while improving authentication reliability by ensuring user-specific secure access.

The patent implements self-service by enabling each user's public key to automatically and deterministically generate their own unique endpoint path without requiring manual configuration or complex system intervention. The cryptographic derivation process is self-executing, where the user's public key serves as both input and identifier, automatically producing the corresponding endpoint path. This reduces device complexity by eliminating manual path configuration while maintaining high authentication reliability through cryptographic security.

The patent applies preliminary action by performing cryptographic public key derivation and endpoint path generation in advance, during user registration or authentication setup phases. Once the endpoint path is derived from the user's public key, it can be cached and reused for subsequent authentication operations. This preliminary computation reduces real-time processing energy consumption while maintaining strong data security, as the computationally intensive cryptographic operations are performed beforehand rather than during each authentication event.
