Integrated Cybersecurity System for Isolated Client Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional security techniques for protecting data in the information age rely heavily on passwords, which are vulnerable to breaches and require users to store sensitive information, posing risks for both users and third-party sites.
Innovation Solution
An integrated cybersecurity method that uses a unique identifier issued to a client, verified locally through biometric means, and encrypted before being sent to a server for authentication, allowing for secure access to websites without storing user information on third-party sites, thus isolating user data and reducing liability in case of a breach.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional password-based authentication is used, then users can access protected information, but user data is vulnerable to breaches and requires users to store sensitive information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication verification process from the third-party website and relocates it to a dedicated authentication server. The website only receives authentication results, not user credentials. This extraction eliminates the website's exposure to sensitive user data while maintaining authentication functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication server that mediates between the user and the third-party website. This intermediary handles all authentication operations using stored credentials, preventing direct exposure of user data to websites while enabling secure access control.
2Ease of operation
If users store passwords on third-party sites, then access is granted, but liability and security risks increase for both users and sites
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal authentication server that serves multiple third-party websites with a single credential set. This multi-functional system allows users to access different websites without storing credentials on each site, reducing the security infrastructure complexity at individual websites while maintaining ease of access.
3Speed
If biometric verification is performed locally without server interaction, then authentication speed improves, but verification security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary biometric verification locally on the user's device before server communication occurs. This preliminary action captures the biometric data and compares it against stored templates locally, providing rapid initial authentication while the server subsequently validates the authentication result, thus maintaining both speed and reliability.
Data Source
AI summary
Integrated cybersecurity systems and method for providing client access to a website. The methods involve receiving website configuration information for the client access; receiving client enrollment data for the client access; receiving client input data from a client; defining integrated client confirmation; and providing the website with the client identification information based on the integrated client confirmation. The defining involves authenticating the client input data by comparing the client input data with the client enrollment data; authorizing the authenticated client by determining client authorization information associated with the client enrollment data based on the website configuration information; identifying the authenticated client by determining client identification information associated with the client enrollment data; and providing the website with the client identification information based on the integrated client confirmation. The website is isolated from the client enrollment data, the client input data, and the defining of the integrated client confirmation.
