Non-qualified Digital Identifier Mediates Service Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users accessing digital services risk exposing their qualified digital identifiers linked to valuable digital assets to malicious actors, as these identifiers are often required for service access.
Innovation Solution
An intermediate system generates a non-qualified digital identifier based on user-provided information and associates it with the user's qualified digital identifiers, allowing secure access to digital services without exposing the qualified identifiers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users provide their qualified digital identifier to access a digital service, then they can access the service, but their digital assets become vulnerable to malicious actors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a non-qualified digital identifier as an intermediary that mediates between the user and the digital service. This intermediary identifier allows service access while preventing direct exposure of the qualified digital identifier linked to digital assets, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and security protection
2Ease of operation
If users use their qualified digital identifier for service access, then authentication is straightforward, but security risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the digital identifier functionality into two distinct parts: a qualified digital identifier for asset ownership and a non-qualified digital identifier for service access. This segmentation allows authentication to work smoothly while isolating the security-critical qualified identifier from potential attacks, thus maintaining both ease of operation and reliability
Data Source
AI summary
Information relating to a non-qualified digital identifier in a context of a digital service being provided is received. The non-qualified digital identifier is associated with one or more qualified digital identifiers. It is determined that the one or more qualified digital identifiers would be authorized for the digital service. The non-qualified digital identifier is authorized to access to the digital service as a result of the association of the nonqualified digital identifier with the one or more qualified digital identifiers.
