Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user is trusted to use the correct version of the application on the virtual reality device, then the operation is simple, but the security is compromised as the user could use a version that does not match with the environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an access controller as an intermediary component between the virtual reality device and the data platform. This access controller automatically manages the verification of application versions and cryptographic footprints, eliminating the need for user trust while maintaining security. The access controller mediates the communication, automatically comparing the application version on the device with the expected version on the platform and preventing access if they do not match.
2Reliability
If a secured link is created between the virtual reality device and the platform, then the security is improved, but the complexity of implementation and operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The access controller serves as a mediator that handles the complexity of secured link creation between the virtual reality device and the data platform. Instead of requiring direct complex security configuration between the device and platform, the access controller automatically manages cryptographic footprint verification and establishes secure connections, significantly reducing implementation and operational complexity while maintaining strong security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service security mechanisms where the access controller automatically verifies cryptographic footprints and application versions without requiring manual configuration or user intervention. The virtual reality device automatically sends its cryptographic footprint to the access controller, which then automatically compares it with the expected version and establishes or denies access accordingly, eliminating complex manual security setup.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates to a method for allowing at least one virtual reality device to access a data platform of a three-dimensional content system, said method comprising in particular the steps of receiving a cryptographic footprint on a control communication link (CCL), receiving a cryptographic footprint of an application stored on the at least one virtual reality device sent by said at least one virtual reality device on a access communication link (ACL), comparing both received cryptographic footprints, sending a network address of a selected application environment and authentication data to the virtual reality device on the access communication link (ACL), creating, by the at least one virtual reality device, a secured communication between said at least one virtual reality device and the selected application environment.
