Proxy Server Secure Browsing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Internet security and privacy solutions fail to provide secure and efficient access to the Internet, as they often lead to slower processing times, identity theft, and exposure to malware, with existing systems either compromising security or degrading content quality, and users face challenges in navigating complex security software and managing multiple accounts.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provides a collection of servers in a data center delivering services through a standard Internet browser, encapsulating services to ensure secure, virus-free, and anonymous browsing, with features like proxy servers, dynamic e-mail services, and protected debit card transactions, allowing users to access the Internet without installing software on their computers and maintaining privacy and security across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If direct access to the Internet is provided, then ease of operation is improved, but security and privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a proxy server as an intermediary between the user's computer and the Internet. This proxy server mediates all communications, filtering content to block viruses and malware while maintaining user anonymity by hiding the user's IP address from websites. The proxy server acts as a trusted mediator that provides both ease of access and security protection simultaneously.
2Reliability
If security filtering is implemented, then security is improved, but processing speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-clearing websites and content before they reach the user. The proxy server pre-filters content, pre-blocks malicious sites, and pre-establishes secure connections. This preliminary filtering prevents harmful content from ever reaching the user's computer, eliminating the need for continuous real-time scanning that would slow down processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes harmful elements (viruses, malware, spam) from the Internet content before delivery to the user. By taking out only the dangerous components and leaving the safe content to pass through, the system maintains high processing speed for legitimate content while ensuring security.
3Reliability
If complex security software is provided, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy server performs self-service by automatically filtering content, blocking malicious sites, and managing security protocols without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously handles virus scanning, spam filtering, and security updates, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex settings or manually manage security software.
4Reliability
If content filtering is applied, then security is improved, but content quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different filtering qualities to different types of content. Safe and legitimate content passes through with minimal filtering to maintain its original quality and integrity. Only potentially harmful content undergoes strict filtering. This localized approach to quality control ensures that security measures do not degrade the quality of legitimate content while still providing comprehensive protection.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method providing a collection of associated servers in a data center connected to the Internet. The servers, each being related to a service, deliver a client to a user, encapsulating the related services to common standard Internet browser software. The system and method provide a window to the Internet. The associated servers perform browsing for a user, stripping out viruses and malware and delivering safe content. The content enables a user to view and interact with the content on its computer, but not processing that content on the user's computer; the content is not stored on any local storage at the user's computer. The system and method for the delivery of services is tightly integrated into the Internet browsing experience and provides the end-user with anonymity, privacy, fraud protection, and multiple-client sharing of meta-information pertaining to the browsing experience.
