Identity Firewall Framework for Context-Aware Resource Provisioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern computing technologies lack effective tools for identifying, evaluating, and managing vast and diverse internet-based resources to ensure secure, reliable, and purposeful computing, particularly due to the lack of standardized, interoperable contextual purpose specifying tools that can inform users of optimal and safe resource sets for their specific objectives.
Innovation Solution
PERCos capabilities, including Awareness Managers, Identity Firewalls, and Contextual Purpose Firewall Frameworks, employ existential biometric identity establishment and authentication techniques to reliably identify, evaluate, and provision resources based on user contextual purposes, ensuring secure and efficient resource deployment and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If standardized identity management tools are implemented, then resource provisioning security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple identity management functions (identity establishment, authentication, authorization, and resource provisioning) into a unified PERCos system architecture. This integration allows standardized tools to manage diverse computing resources through a single coherent framework, improving security while controlling complexity through functional consolidation rather than proliferation of separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The PERCos capabilities are designed to provide universal identity management across different resource types and computing environments. The system establishes contextual purposes that can be applied universally to various resources (software, hardware, data), enabling a single standardized toolset to secure diverse resource provisioning scenarios without requiring specialized systems for each resource category.
2Measurement precision
If contextual purpose specifying tools are deployed, then resource evaluation accuracy is improved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments contextual purpose specification into hierarchical levels (global purposes, operational purposes, and task-specific purposes). This segmentation allows the system to process information at appropriate granularities, evaluating resources against relevant purpose criteria without requiring complete analysis of all possible information, thereby improving accuracy while managing processing requirements through structured information hierarchy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary establishment of contextual purposes and identity attributes before resource provisioning decisions are made. By pre-defining purpose criteria and resource requirements, the system reduces information processing needs during actual resource evaluation, as the framework for assessment is already in place rather than requiring complete real-time analysis.
3Reliability
If identity-based resource isolation is implemented, then computing security is improved, but resource provisioning flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic identity-based isolation where resource access controls are not static but adapt based on contextual purposes and operational conditions. The system can dynamically adjust isolation levels and provisioning permissions according to the established contextual purposes, maintaining security through identity verification while allowing flexible resource allocation when purposes are appropriately defined and authorized.
