Security Management Circuit Hierarchy With Dedicated Event Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing signal transfer between multiple security management circuits in a system effectively and safely is challenging, particularly when lower layers are compromised, leading to potential system hacking or cracking.
Innovation Solution
A hierarchical structure with dedicated lines connecting security management circuits allows lower layers to report critical events directly to higher layers, enhancing security and efficiency through a relay circuit that manages event reporting and prioritization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple security management circuits are equipped in a system, then system security is enhanced, but signal transfer management becomes more complex and vulnerable to compromise
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides security management circuits into multiple hierarchical layers (first layer, second layer, third layer), with each layer responsible for specific security functions. This segmentation allows independent management of each layer's signal transfer while maintaining overall system security, reducing the complexity of managing all circuits uniformly.
Solution Approach 2:
A dedicated line is introduced as an intermediary communication channel between the third security management circuit and the first security management circuit. This dedicated line acts as a secure mediator that bypasses potentially compromised lower layers (second circuit), enabling direct and trusted signal transfer for critical security events without increasing overall system complexity.
2Reliability
If lower layers are compromised, then system security is vulnerable to hacking or cracking, but adding more security layers increases complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a dedicated communication line between the third and first security management circuits in advance, creating a pre-configured secure channel that is independent of the second (lower) layer. This preliminary anti-action ensures that even if the second layer is compromised, attackers cannot intercept or manipulate communications between the first and third layers, as the dedicated line provides a direct, secure path that bypasses the compromised intermediate layer.
3Productivity
If critical events are reported through standard communication channels, then reporting is simple, but efficiency and security are reduced when lower layers are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The dedicated line serves as a specialized intermediary channel specifically for reporting critical security events between the third and first security management circuits. This dedicated reporting channel ensures that critical events are transmitted efficiently and securely without being subject to the security vulnerabilities of standard communication channels that pass through compromised lower layers.

AI summary
An event reporting method, a security management circuit, and a management system are provided. The management system includes first, second, and third security management circuits. The first security management circuit and the second security management are respectively located at a first layer and a second layer of a hierarchy structure. The third security management circuit is located at another layer of the hierarchy structure different from the first layer and the second layer. The first, second, and third security management circuits are respectively configured to determine an event occurring on a host connected to these security management circuits. A dedicated line is communicatively connected between the first and third security management circuits. According to a type of the event determined by the third security management circuit, the third security management circuit reports the event through the dedicated line. Accordingly, a reporting efficiency and system security are improved.
