Management Server for Secure User-Mobile Body Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in securely tracking the use relationship between a user and a mobile body, such as a vehicle, especially in scenarios where the use is not based on a contract or reservation, leading to inefficiencies in payment processing and security concerns.
Innovation Solution
A management server that authenticates both the user and the mobile body through separate servers, using unique identifiers and information exchanged between user and mobile body terminals, to establish a secure correspondence and track the use relationship.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single server is used to authenticate both the user and the mobile body, then the authentication process is simpler, but security is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the authentication system into two separate servers: a first server for authenticating the user and a second server for authenticating the mobile body. This segmentation allows each server to specialize in authenticating a specific target, thereby enhancing overall security while maintaining manageable complexity in the authentication process.
2Productivity
If correspondence is established without authentication, then the use relationship tracking is faster, but security is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary authentication of both the user and the mobile body through separate servers before establishing the correspondence relationship. This preliminary action ensures that security verification is completed in advance, allowing the use relationship tracking to proceed efficiently without compromising security.
3Reliability
If multiple servers are used for authentication, then security is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication functions into separate, dedicated servers - one for user authentication and another for mobile body authentication. This extraction reduces the complexity within each individual server while maintaining enhanced security through the distributed architecture, as each server focuses on a specific authentication task.
4Reliability
If correspondence is terminated frequently, then security is maintained, but system stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a mechanism where the management server receives termination requests from either the user terminal or mobile body terminal, and automatically terminates the correspondence relationship. This feedback mechanism allows the system to maintain security by responding to termination requests while providing stability through automated, consistent handling of correspondence lifecycle management.
Data Source
AI summary
A management server according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one processor. The processor receives a first identifier, first unique information, a second identifier, and second unique information in response to occurrence of a use relationship between a first target and a second target, requests authentication of the first target by transmitting the received first identifier and the received first unique information to a first server, requests authentication of the second target by transmitting the received second identifier and the received second unique information to a second server, and sets a correspondence between the first identifier and the second identifier when both the first target and the second target have successfully been authenticated.
