Wireless Privacy Call Configuration for Secure MFA Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face security threats due to the exposure of calls and messages used as multi-factor authentication factors, necessitating enhanced privacy protection.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for performing communication in a wireless communication system that includes receiving a privacy call request message with a specified privacy level, identifying supported privacy configurations, and performing calls based on those configurations to enhance privacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If calls and messages are used as multi-factor authentication factors, then authentication security is improved, but exposure to security threats increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces privacy management entities and policies as intermediaries between the authentication system and external threats. These intermediaries control and manage the exposure of calls and messages, allowing them to be used for authentication while filtering and protecting against security threats through policy-based control mechanisms
2Reliability
If privacy protection is enhanced through configuration options, then security against threats is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements privacy protection by changing parameters such as privacy levels, policy types, and configuration options. These parameter changes allow flexible privacy control without fundamentally altering the system architecture, enabling enhanced security while managing complexity through configurable parameters rather than structural complexity

AI summary
A method, performed by a first electronic device, of performing communication in a wireless communication system, and a device for performing communication are provided. The method of performing communication may include receiving, from a second electronic device, a privacy call request message containing information about a first privacy level, identifying whether a privacy configuration corresponding to the first privacy level is supported, and when the privacy configuration is supported, performing a call with the second electronic device based on the privacy configuration.
