Interaction Validation Using Obfuscated User and Device Identifiers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Data shared outside a firewall during interactions between internal and external entity servers is vulnerable to interception by bad actors, compromising security and slowing down processing times.
Innovation Solution
The system splits user data into logical components, obfuscates them with unique identifiers, and generates authentication responses outside the firewall, enhancing security and processing speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user data is shared outside the firewall during interactions between external and internal entity servers, then data validation and processing can be performed, but the data becomes vulnerable to interception by bad actors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments user data into multiple logical data components before transmission. Each component is processed and validated separately, reducing the risk that interception of one component compromises the entire dataset. The segmentation allows the system to maintain validation reliability while minimizing the harm from potential interception.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary validation process that occurs within the firewall boundary. The internal entity server validates logical data components before they are combined and used, acting as a mediator that ensures data integrity without requiring all data to be exposed outside the firewall.
2Reliability
If data is transmitted back and forth between external and internal entity servers for validation, then interactions can be authorized, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary validation of logical data components at the internal entity server before the complete data set is reconstructed. This preliminary action allows the system to determine early whether validation will succeed, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth transmissions and reducing overall processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting data into logical components that can be validated independently, the system parallelizes the validation process. Multiple components are validated simultaneously rather than sequentially, significantly reducing the time required for interaction authorization while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
A method is provided that includes receiving a request to perform an interaction that includes user data and device data. The method includes splitting the user data into one or more logical data components. The method includes comparing the one or more logical data components to one or more predetermined validation thresholds. The method includes determining whether the one or more logical data components satisfy the one or more predetermined validation thresholds. In response to determining that the one or more logical data components satisfy the one or more predetermined validation thresholds, the method includes obfuscating the one or more logical data components to generate one or more unique identifiers, and obfuscating the device data to generate a unique device identifier. The method includes generating an authentication response configured to authorize the external entity server to perform the interaction that includes the unique identifiers and unique device identifier.
