Privileged Access Authentication With Shared Resource Pool Controls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital systems lack effective methods for secure privileged user resource access and collaboration, particularly in multi-factor authentication processes, necessitating improved authentication and resource sharing mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that authenticates users by comparing credentials, generates a list of recommended contacts, creates a shared resource pool with a finite cap, and distributes resources based on objective completion, maintaining a log of user contributions and progress indicators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multi-factor authentication is implemented to protect information, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is divided into separate modules: credential verification module, contact recommendation module, and resource pool management module. Each module handles specific authentication factors independently, making the complex multi-factor authentication process more manageable and maintainable while preserving security
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary authentication manager that coordinates between different authentication factors and the resource pool. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing authentication logic and providing a unified interface for resource access control
2Reliability
If a shared resource pool with finite cap is created requiring objective completion, then resource distribution security is improved, but access time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-identifies and stores recommended contacts based on user data before resource pool creation. Authentication credentials of potential participants are verified in advance when they join the resource pool, so that when objectives are completed, resource distribution can occur immediately without delay
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms that track objective completion progress and automatically trigger resource distribution when targets are met. This automated feedback loop eliminates manual verification delays and ensures rapid resource allocation once security conditions are satisfied
3Reliability
If authentication credentials are verified for multiple users before resource access, then access control security is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
User authentication credentials are verified in advance when users join the resource pool or when the pool is created. This preliminary authentication ensures that all security checks are completed before resource distribution begins, allowing rapid execution once prerequisites are met
Solution Approach 2:
The system combines multiple authentication verifications into a single coordinated process managed by the authentication manager. Rather than sequentially processing each user's credentials separately, the system merges verification operations and processes them in parallel where possible, reducing overall processing time while maintaining security
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods receive and validate authentication credentials. A list of recommended contacts derived from stored user data associated with the stored authentication credentials are generated and transmitted to a user device for display. A request indicating contact(s) to be included in a shared resource pool that has a finite resource cap is received, where the shared resource pool is augmented in response to completion of objective(s). User request(s) initiating incorporating users in the shared resource pool are received and authentication credentials of the users are authenticated thereby granting access to the shared resource pool. A user records log of user contributions for completing the objective(s) is maintained and data used to initiate display of a progress status indicator representing completion of the objective(s) is updated. Once the finite resource cap is satisfied, resource(s) are distributed to user accounts of the users.
