Solution Overview
Problem
Existing malfeasant activity detection systems rely on internet connections, which are often limited or unavailable, leading to security issues with transfers due to the inability to verify transactions in real-time.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing satellite communications to transmit and receive data packets from end-point devices, enabling real-time malfeasant activity detection and prevention by verifying transfer requests and device information through satellite networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If mobile devices are used for transfer authentication, then user convenience is improved, but reliability deteriorates when cellular network connection is unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables mobile devices to perform authentication through multiple network types (cellular and satellite), making the authentication mechanism universally applicable regardless of network availability. The processing device accepts transfer authentication data packets from mobile devices via satellite network when cellular network is unavailable, ensuring continuous authentication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The satellite network serves as an intermediary communication channel between the mobile device and the processing device. When cellular network connection fails, the satellite network mediates the authentication process by transmitting data packets between the mobile device and the processing device, maintaining authentication reliability without requiring direct cellular connectivity.
2Reliability
If real-time transfer verification is performed, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and processes only the essential authentication data from the transfer authentication data packet (such as device identifier, location information, and transfer details) rather than processing the complete device state. This selective extraction maintains real-time verification capability while reducing the complexity of data processing requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication verification before allowing transfers to proceed. By evaluating device information and location data in advance through the satellite network connection, the system ensures security is established prior to the actual transfer execution, maintaining real-time security without requiring complex continuous monitoring during the transfer process.

AI summary
Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for detecting and preventing malfeasant activity via use of satellite communications. The method includes receiving a transfer request relating to a transfer to be completed associated with a user. The method also includes receiving transfer device data packet(s) from an end-point device via a satellite network. The transfer device data packet(s) includes device information associated with the end-point device. The method further includes determining a malfeasance value based on a comparison of the transfer request and the transfer device data packet(s). The malfeasance value corresponds to a likelihood of a malfeasant activity relating to the transfer request. The method still further includes causing an execution of an elevated action in an instance in which the malfeasance value is equal to or above a malfeasance threshold. The elevated action is an action in which the transfer is delayed or cancelled.
