Secure Keyboard Resource Dynamic Interface Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The Internet's architecture at the network layer lacks anti-fraud protection and user identity protection, leading to severe security threats and unauthorized monitoring, as malicious users can bypass security measures using unencrypted data packets, compromising network devices and user communications.
Innovation Solution
A secure peer-to-peer data network is established using a network operating system that enforces strict security policies, generates unique identities, and establishes two-way trusted relationships between devices, ensuring secure communications and control through a secure keyboard resource that dynamically obtains user interface element definitions for secure ad-hoc control of target network devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a keyboard resource sends user inputs to a remote server for auto-assist services, then the user receives helpful suggestions and corrections, but the user's privacy and data security are compromised due to unauthorized monitoring and transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful function of unauthorized data transmission from the keyboard resource while preserving the useful auto-assist functionality. The secure keyboard resource obtains interface definitions locally from the target device rather than transmitting user inputs to remote servers, thereby eliminating the privacy violation while maintaining operational assistance capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a secure keyboard resource as an intermediary between the user input and the target device control. This intermediary obtains interface element definitions from the target device and processes inputs locally, acting as a trusted mediator that prevents unauthorized monitoring while enabling assisted input functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If proprietary interface apps are installed for each target network device, then device-specific control functionality is achieved, but device complexity and user burden increase due to multiple app installations and learning different interface layouts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal secure keyboard resource that can control multiple different target network devices without requiring separate proprietary apps. The secure keyboard resource dynamically obtains interface element definitions from each target device, enabling it to adapt to various device types while maintaining a consistent user experience and eliminating the need for multiple specialized applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the keyboard resource dynamic by enabling it to obtain interface definitions from the target device at runtime rather than having static, device-specific interfaces hardcoded in separate apps. This dynamic adaptation allows the same secure keyboard resource to function across multiple device types, reducing complexity while maintaining versatility.
3Ease of operation
If unencrypted data packets are transmitted over the network, then network communication simplicity is maintained, but security is severely compromised allowing malicious users to bypass security measures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service security where the secure keyboard resource and target device establish trusted relationships and exchange interface definitions through encrypted peer-to-peer communication without requiring external security infrastructure. This maintains communication simplicity while ensuring security through localized cryptographic operations and mutual authentication.
Data Source
AI summary
A secure executable container executed by an endpoint device establishes a two-way trusted relationship in a secure peer-to-peer data network with a user entity, generates an endpoint identifier for the endpoint device in the secure peer-to-peer data network, and associates the endpoint device with a federation identifier identifying the user entity in the secure peer-to-peer data network. The secure executable container also: establishes a two-way trusted relationship between the endpoint device and a target network device; securely obtains, via the secure peer-to-peer data network, a user interface element definition describing a user interface element executable by the target network device; and supplies the user interface element definition to a secure keyboard resource executed in the endpoint device, causing the secure keyboard resource to generate a local representation of the user interface element for control of the target network device via the secure keyboard resource.
