Substitute Cryptographic Token for Timeout Recovery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cryptographic token authorization is often declined due to non-risk related issues such as communication timeouts, leading to failed information exchanges and inefficiencies in processing systems, as existing technologies lack effective methods to handle such rejections.
Innovation Solution
The system identifies and repurposes a cryptographic session token from a connected application to generate a substitute cryptographic token, which can be used to complete the information exchange, thereby bypassing communication issues and reducing the need for repeated attempts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cryptographic token authorization is performed using standard communication channels, then security authentication can be completed, but communication timeouts may occur leading to request rejection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a substitute cryptographic token as an intermediary mechanism. When the primary authorization request times out, the system generates a substitute token that acts as a mediator to complete the information exchange without requiring re-establishment of the original communication channel, thus resolving the timeout issue while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating a substitute cryptographic token in advance when the original authorization fails. This substitute token is prepared beforehand to handle the information exchange, preventing the need to wait for timeout resolution and enabling immediate completion of the requested operation
2Reliability
If cryptographic token authorization is performed, then user authentication can be verified, but non-risk related issues cause request declination and processing inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of authorization failure into a beneficial outcome. When the original cryptographic token authorization fails due to non-risk issues, the system generates a substitute token that not only recovers the failed request but also improves overall processing efficiency by avoiding repeated authentication attempts and reducing system workload
3Reliability
If standard cryptographic token methods are used, then security protocols are followed, but communication issues lead to repeated authorization attempts increasing system workload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the discarding and recovering principle by discarding the failed original authorization attempt and recovering the authentication process through a substitute cryptographic token. This allows the system to maintain security protocol compliance while avoiding the energy waste of repeatedly attempting the same failed authorization, as the substitute token recovers the authentication without requiring re-transmission of original requests

AI summary
Disclosed methods include receiving, by a system, a request from a computing device for an information exchange between a first entity and a second entity, and then generating a first token request for a cryptographic token to be authorized to enable the exchange. In response to receiving an indication that authorization was declined, the system may cause the computing device to identify a different cryptographic token of a connected application. The different cryptographic token may be usable by the connected application to authenticate the first entity to a computer service associated with the connected application. The system may communicate with the computer service to approve use of the different cryptographic token by the system, and then generate a second token request for a substitute cryptographic token using information from the different cryptographic token. The system may complete, using the substitute cryptographic token, the exchange between the first and entities.
