Multi-Terminal Authentication Server Dividing Requests for Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic payment authentication methods are insecure due to the ease of leakage of personal verification information, leading to low security and safety in payment environments, resulting in potential property loss.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented authentication method that divides the authentication request into multiple sub-requests sent to different terminals, requiring verification information from multiple users or terminals to enhance security, which can include various authentication modes such as passwords, fingerprints, or facial recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If one authentication method is used for electronic payment, then the operation is simple and fast, but the security level is low and verification information is easy to be leaked
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication request is divided into multiple sub-authentication requests, each requiring different verification information. This segmentation transforms a single authentication step into multiple independent verification steps, thereby enhancing security without requiring a complete redesign of the authentication system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension to authentication by involving multiple terminals and multiple users. Instead of authenticating a single user on a single terminal, the system distributes authentication requests across multiple terminals (first terminal, second terminal, third terminal), adding spatial and user-dimensional complexity to the authentication process
2Reliability
If multiple verification steps are implemented, then the security level is improved, but the authentication process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-distributing authentication requests to multiple terminals before the actual payment transaction. The first terminal, second terminal, and third terminal all receive and process their respective sub-authentication requests in parallel, reducing the overall authentication time compared to sequential verification
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple authentication processes into a unified authentication result. Instead of handling separate authentication flows for each terminal, the system combines the verification results from the first terminal, second terminal, and third terminal into a single comprehensive authentication outcome, streamlining the overall process

AI summary
Disclosed are authentication methods, systems and servers. Aspect processes include receiving an authentication request sent by a first terminal; determining at least a first sub authentication request and a second sub authentication request with both corresponding to the authentication request; sending the first sub authentication request to a second terminal and the second sub authentication request to a third terminal; when receiving the first verification information sent by the second terminal and the second verification information sent by the third terminal, authenticating the first verification information and the second verification information; and sending the authentication result to the first terminal; wherein the second terminal or the third terminal is the same terminal as the first terminal or is a different terminal from the first terminal.
