Authentication Token Routing for Microservice Data Interception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional edge computing systems have pre-configured data analytics models and lack dynamic configuration and effective network slicing mechanisms, leading to inefficient bandwidth allocation and limited processing capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for controlling data interception in a communication network that receives user requests through an API, detects information using predefined rules, issues authentication tokens, and routes requests to corresponding microservices, enabling dynamic operation and secure data handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user access rights are limited at microservice level to protect PII, then data security is improved, but application operation becomes improper due to complex data exchange rules
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication token system that mediates between user access requests and microservice data protection. The token acts as a carrier that encapsulates user identity and authorization information, allowing microservices to enforce security policies without complex rule logic. This intermediary mechanism resolves the contradiction by centralizing security enforcement while simplifying individual service implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication and token generation before users access microservices. By pre-processing user credentials and generating authentication tokens in advance, the system establishes security boundaries upfront, allowing subsequent microservice interactions to proceed with simpler validation logic rather than complex runtime rule evaluation.
2Device complexity
If conventional edge computing systems use pre-configured data analytics models, then system simplicity is maintained, but adaptability and dynamic configuration capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configuration capabilities in edge computing systems by introducing runtime parameter adjustment mechanisms. The system allows data analytics models and processing parameters to be modified dynamically without requiring full system reconfiguration, enabling adaptability while maintaining operational simplicity through controlled change management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables adaptability by allowing parameter changes in data analytics models and processing configurations. Rather than requiring complete model reconfiguration, the system permits selective parameter adjustments that maintain system simplicity while achieving the needed versatility and dynamic response to changing requirements.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for controlling data interception in a communication network. One or more requests from a user for accessing one or more microservices are received through an Application Programming Interface (API). Information associated with one or more requests is the detected and requests are classified as secured microservice request and non-secured microservice request. The information is detected through predefined rules. Authentication token is then issued for secured microservice based on the detecting. The authentication token stores information detected by the detector in a geo storage system. The one or more requests are then routed according to the authentication token towards one or more corresponding microservices of the one or more microservices.
