SSLX Protocol Real Privacy Management Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols face performance, complexity, and security challenges, requiring a more efficient and scalable solution that provides comparable security with fewer steps, less computational effort, and improved end-user experience, while using less bandwidth and enabling peer-to-peer trust.
Innovation Solution
SSLNext (SSLX) is a protocol that employs 2-factor Real Privacy Management (RPM) mutual authentication and data security technology, using AES encryption and modular code, allowing for shorter key lifecycles and session lengths down to individual messages, with a Directory Service for trust establishment, reducing complexity and vulnerability, and enabling scalable, peer-to-peer trust.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If SSL/TLS protocol is used for secure communications, then security is provided, but computational overhead and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs authentication and key exchange preliminarily during browser startup or connection establishment, so that when actual secure communication is needed, the cryptographic handshaking is already complete or can be quickly resumed. This preliminary action eliminates the need for lengthy SSL/TLS handshakes during each communication session.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the authentication process into separate phases: initial credential verification, session key generation, and data transmission. By separating these functions, the system can maintain security while reducing the overhead during actual data communication, as the cryptographic handshaking occurs in the initial phase.
2Reliability
If SSL/TLS protocol is used for secure communications, then security is provided, but bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the heavy cryptographic handshaking and authentication data exchange from the regular data transmission flow. By separating these functions, the protocol reduces bandwidth consumption during actual communication, as only lightweight encrypted data needs to be transmitted after the initial authentication phase.
3Reliability
If SSL/TLS protocol is used for secure communications, then security is provided, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic authentication and key management where the system self-configures security parameters, manages session keys, and handles certificate verification without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention. This self-service approach simplifies the overall system complexity while maintaining strong security.
4Reliability
If SSL/TLS protocol is used for secure communications, then authentication is provided, but the number of processing steps increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs authentication preliminarily during browser startup or connection establishment, so that when actual secure communication is needed, the authentication is already complete. This preliminary action eliminates the need for multiple authentication steps during each communication session, significantly improving processing speed.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for secure communications. An authentication procedure establishes a session key between communicating entities that is used to encrypt subsequent communications. The authentication procedure can be repeated for each n messages exchanged, where n is an integer, for each web page sent and received and for any other suitable interval. An entity can establish a trusted relationship with a directory server that can act as a trusted intermediary in authentication and session key set up between two or more entities that do not trust each other.
