Ticketing Interface Access Control via Interaction Scoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for controlling access to databases are often insecure, inefficient, and burdensome on processing resources, as they fail to effectively manage and prioritize tasks based on authentication and authorization levels.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method using queue protocols to schedule tasks for data access, where requests from authorized systems are processed during a first phase and unauthorized systems are inhibited or processed later, ensuring secure and efficient resource management by prioritizing tasks based on authentication and authorization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional access control systems are used to manage database access, then security can be maintained, but processing resources are burdened and system efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments access control into two distinct phases: authentication phase (verifying user identity) and authorization phase (determining access rights). This segmentation allows the system to handle authentication requests efficiently in the first phase, while authorization checks are deferred or optimized in the second phase, reducing the processing burden on authentication operations while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication in the first processing phase, validating user identities before they can access resources. By completing authentication beforehand and caching results, the system reduces the processing load during subsequent authorization operations, improving overall system efficiency while maintaining security controls.
2Speed
If all access requests are processed simultaneously, then responsiveness is improved, but processing resources become overloaded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic processing phases where authentication requests are handled in the first phase and authorization requests are handled in the second phase. This periodic alternation prevents resource overload by distributing processing loads across time, while still providing responsive service to users by quickly handling authentication and deferring more resource-intensive authorization checks.
Solution Approach 2:
By performing authentication preliminarily in the first phase and caching authentication results, the system reduces the processing required during authorization phases. This preliminary action decreases overall processing resource consumption while maintaining fast response times for authentication operations.
3Reliability
If strict access control is enforced for all requests, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the access control system into separate authentication and authorization modules operating in different phases. This segmentation reduces system complexity by allowing each module to be optimized independently - authentication focuses on identity verification while authorization focuses on access rights management - while together they provide comprehensive security.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for transmitting ticket information to user devices based on interactions of the user devices with a ticket system, is disclosed. The method involves identifying interactions of a first user device and a second user device with the ticket system within a predefined time period. The interactions are associated with ticket requests for a resource. Interaction scores are generated and updated based on the number of interactions. Upon interaction with the first user device, a first interface containing first ticket information is transmitted within the predefined time period, determined by the first interaction score. Simultaneously, in response to the second user device interaction, a second interface with second ticket information is transmitted, determined by the second interaction score. Notably, the second ticket information includes a second quantity of available tickets for the resource, which is lesser than a first quantity in the first ticket information.
