Uniform Security Access API for 5G Collaborative Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in providing uniform security for application programming interfaces (APIs) on 5G networks, especially in collaborative virtual experiences where devices may have different security parameters.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform with a processor, communication interface, and memory implements an API for uniform security access on a 5G network by authenticating user devices, comparing their attributes to a stored security policy, and using an anomaly detection model to monitor user interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different security parameters are used for different devices, then device compatibility is improved, but uniform security enforcement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the security parameter from device-specific configurations to a unified authentication token system. The computing platform generates standardized authentication tokens that encode security credentials, allowing diverse devices to be authenticated through a common parameter structure rather than device-specific security configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal authentication mechanism that works across multiple device types. The authentication token serves multiple functions: it authenticates the device, encodes security credentials, and enables uniform policy enforcement across different device platforms, replacing the need for device-specific security parameters.
2Reliability
If uniform security authentication is implemented across all devices, then security enforcement is improved, but device compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication token acts as an intermediary between diverse devices and the uniform security policy. Instead of requiring direct compatibility between each device type and the security system, the token mediates the interaction, translating device credentials into a standardized format that the security platform can uniformly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the authentication approach from direct device-parameter matching to token-based parameter encoding. Security credentials are encoded within authentication tokens, changing the parameter representation from device-specific configurations to standardized token structures that maintain both security and compatibility.
3Measurement precision
If device attributes are compared against stored security policies, then access control precision is improved, but processing time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-generating authentication tokens that encode security credentials before the actual access request. The token is created in advance with all necessary security attributes embedded, so that during access control, the system only needs to validate the pre-encoded token rather than performing complex real-time comparisons of device attributes against security policies.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts security credentials from complex device attribute comparisons and embeds them directly into the authentication token. Instead of comparing multiple device attributes against security policies during access control, the relevant security information is extracted and encoded into the token, simplifying the access control decision to a token validation process.

AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing hardware and software for uniform security access. A computing platform may receive, from a 5G device, a request to access a collaborative experience service. The computing platform may identify whether the 5G device is authenticated. Based on identifying that the 5G device is authenticated, the computing platform may grant the 5G device access to an API that may be used to access the collaborative experience service. The computing platform may identify that attributes of the 5G device comply with a stored security policy, and grant access to the collaborative experience service in response. The computing platform may receive user interaction information from the 5G device, and may input the user interaction information into an anomaly detection model. Based on identifying that the interactions do not comprise an anomaly for the user, the computing platform may maintain the access to the collaborative experience service.
