Solution Overview

Problem

In network transactions, the complexity of the environment leads to the emergence of fake web pages that are difficult to distinguish from real payment pages, resulting in potential monetary losses due to low security and discrimination.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying a security identifier on a page by verifying domain name and link information through a preset correspondence, where if the information matches, a specified parameter is checked, and if present, the security identifier is displayed in a page function type identifier column, enhancing security by preventing web page faking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If domain name verification is performed to improve security, then the ability to distinguish fake pages improves, but the complexity of the verification process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidverification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a correspondence database between transfer object identifiers and their legitimate domain names before the actual verification occurs. When a user accesses a numerical value transfer page, the system simply checks whether the current domain name matches the pre-stored legitimate domain name for that transfer object, rather than performing complex real-time verification. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the complexity of the actual verification process while maintaining high security standards.

2Reliability

If link information verification is performed to prevent fake pages, then security improves, but the discrimination requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddiscrimination difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and verifies specific critical elements from the link information, namely the domain name portion, rather than attempting to verify the entire complex link structure. By focusing verification on the domain name component and comparing it against pre-stored legitimate domain names, the system simplifies the discrimination process while effectively identifying fake pages. This selective extraction of verification targets reduces the difficulty of detection while maintaining security.

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If security identifier display is added to numerical value transfer pages, then user awareness of security improves, but the page complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity awarenessVSAvoidpage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a security identifier as an intermediary visual element that mediates between the complex verification process and the user. This security identifier is displayed on the numerical value transfer page to indicate that the page has passed verification. The security identifier serves as a simple, recognizable symbol that enhances user awareness of security without requiring users to understand the complex verification mechanisms behind it, thus improving security awareness while minimizing the impact on page structure complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a method, an apparatus, and a network system for displaying a security identifier on a page. The method includes: receiving a display request for a numerical value transfer page, where the display request at least carries link information of the numerical value transfer page and a numerical value transfer object identifier of the numerical value transfer page, and the link information of the numerical value transfer page includes domain name information of a domain name to which the numerical value transfer page belongs; determining, according to a preset correspondence between a transfer object identifier and domain name information, whether the link information of the numerical value transfer page matches domain name information corresponding to the transfer object identifier; if yes, when displaying the numerical value transfer page, displaying a security identifier in a page function type identifier column on an interface of a client.
