Secure Session Transfer for Sensitive Content Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing secure access to sensitive content across various devices and environments is challenging due to varying security capabilities and contexts, particularly in bring your own device (BYOD) policies where devices may be used in insecure situations.
Innovation Solution
A system that automatically detects sensitive content and transfers the session to a more secure device or configures the current device to a more secure state, using security scoring and contextual information to determine the security level of devices and environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sensitive content is accessed across a wide variety of devices with different security capabilities, then device accessibility and user convenience are improved, but security reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically evaluates device security features in real-time and automatically transfers sessions between devices based on changing security conditions. The session transfer mechanism allows the system to adapt to different device security levels while maintaining consistent security requirements, resolving the contradiction between device accessibility and security reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary session management layer that mediates between the user's access needs and the security requirements of sensitive content. This intermediary evaluates device security features and orchestrates session transfers, allowing users to access content on various devices while maintaining security through controlled session migration.
2Reliability
If device security requirements are strictly enforced, then security reliability is improved, but device accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated session transfer based on device security evaluation, eliminating the need for manual security configuration by users. The system self-evaluates device security features and automatically migrates sessions to appropriate devices, maintaining security reliability while preserving ease of operation through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of device security features before allowing access to sensitive content. By pre-assessing device security capabilities and preparing session transfer mechanisms in advance, the system ensures security requirements are met without requiring users to manually configure security settings, thus maintaining both security reliability and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If session transfer to more secure devices is implemented, then security reliability is improved, but system complexity and device management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal session management approach that works across multiple device types and security configurations. The session transfer mechanism is designed to be device-agnostic, evaluating security features in a standardized way and managing sessions uniformly across different devices, which reduces system complexity despite the multi-device environment.

AI summary
Methods and systems for performing secure device selection based on sensitive content detection are described herein. The methods and systems may analyze content being accessed via a virtual session established with a first device to determine that at least a portion of the content is sensitive content, determine information indicating one or more security features of the first device and one or more security features of a second device associated with a user of the first device, determine, based on the information, that the second device is more secure than the first device, and, responsive to the determination that the second device is more secure than the first device, transfer the virtual session to the second device or enter a more secure configuration of the first device.
