Exposure Based Secure Access System Using Blockchain
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current access management systems in distributed network environments lack the ability to effectively differentiate exposure levels and detect misuse, leading to inefficient access control and potential security breaches.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a blockchain distributed ledger to regulate access by associating exposure levels with token amounts, where authorization is based on authentication credentials and exposure levels, and access is granted for predetermined time periods, with transactions recorded on the blockchain for holistic monitoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional access management systems are used, then access control is implemented, but exposure levels cannot be differentiated and misuse detection is ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing exposure level parameters and token amount parameters to traditional access management. The system evaluates multiple parameters including exposure level, token amount, and authentication credentials to dynamically determine access authorization, transforming static access control into a multi-parameter evaluation system that enables precise exposure level differentiation.
2Reliability
If exposure based access control is implemented, then security is improved, but system complexity increases due to blockchain integration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs blockchain technology as an intermediary layer between the authorization module and the distributed network environment. The blockchain distributed ledger records and verifies token transactions and exposure level evaluations, providing a decentralized trust mechanism that enhances security while distributing system complexity across the network rather than concentrating it in a single authorization server.
Solution Approach 2:
The authorization module performs multiple functions including exposure level evaluation, token amount determination, authentication credential validation, and blockchain interaction. This multi-functional design consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a unified authorization mechanism that handles security, financial transactions, and access control simultaneously.
3Measurement precision
If token amounts are determined based on exposure levels, then misuse detection capability is enhanced, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of exposure levels and determines appropriate token amounts before actual access requests are processed. By pre-establishing exposure level categories and corresponding token requirements, the authorization module can quickly match incoming requests against predefined criteria rather than performing complex calculations in real-time, reducing processing delay while maintaining accurate misuse detection.
