Network Transaction Authentication Using Random Data Portion Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional network security solutions for gateway devices in computing environments compromise performance and efficiency due to extensive data validation or digital signature verification, leading to delayed communication and increased computing resource strain.
Innovation Solution
Predict subsequent network transactions, determine attributes of data to be exchanged, discretize into portions, randomly select these portions for digital credential association, and verify authenticity of selected portions using public key cryptography.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If extensive data validation or digital signature verification is performed, then security is improved, but performance and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission process into multiple transactions, where only certain transactions require digital signature verification. By dividing the verification requirement across selective transactions rather than applying it to all data, the system maintains security while reducing overall processing overhead and improving performance.
2Reliability
If extensive data validation or digital signature verification is performed, then security is improved, but communication speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments verification requirements across different transactions, applying digital signature verification only to selected transactions rather than all communications. This selective approach maintains security for critical data while allowing faster communication for other transactions, thereby improving overall communication speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies verification partially rather than universally - digital signature verification is performed on selected transactions based on specific criteria rather than on every piece of data. This partial action approach ensures security where needed while avoiding unnecessary verification overhead that would slow down communication.
3Reliability
If extensive data validation or digital signature verification is performed, then security is improved, but computing resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application of digital signature verification to only certain transactions rather than all data transmissions. This segmentation reduces the total number of verification operations required, thereby decreasing computing resource strain and energy consumption while maintaining adequate security levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial verification by applying digital signature verification only to selected transactions based on specific criteria. This partial action approach avoids the excessive computing resource consumption that would result from verifying every transaction, thereby reducing overall computing resource strain.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for managing network transactions are disclosed. An attribute associated with data to be communicated to one of the first and the second set of nodes in a subsequent transaction is determined. The attribute is then translated into a divisible form made of discretized elements. One or more discretized elements are then determined from amongst the discretized elements, where each determined discretized element identifies a portion of the data. A portion identification signal is then generated based on the determined discretized elements to identify portions of the data. Further, the portion identification signal triggers association of a digital credential with each of the identified portions. An authentication status is then determined for each of the identified portions based on the digital credential associated therewith. Based on the authentication status, occurrence of the transaction may be permitted between the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes.
