Authentication Method, Medium, and Electronic Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17786945 titled 'Authentication Method, Medium, and Electronic Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an authentication method and an electronic device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves a first device sending a request to a second device when they are within a certain distance from each other.
- The second device determines if there is any relayed wireless communication between the two devices before the first device can perform a service.
- If the distance between the devices reaches a specific threshold, the second device sends a success ciphertext to the first device.
- The first device receives and verifies the success ciphertext before performing the requested service.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Secure access control systems
- Mobile payment authentication
- Internet of Things (IoT) device authentication
Problems solved by this technology:
- Prevents unauthorized relayed communication between devices
- Ensures that the requested service is only performed when the devices are in close proximity
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security by preventing relay attacks
- Efficient and reliable authentication process
- Suitable for various applications requiring secure device communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
An authentication method and an electronic device. The method includes sending, by a first device, in response to a first device determining that a distance between the first device and a second device reaches a first distance, a first request to the second device, so that the second device determines whether wireless communication between the first and second device is relayed before the first device performs a service, determining, in response to the distance between the first and second device reaching a second distance, whether success ciphertext sent by the second device is received, wherein the success ciphertext is sent in response to the second device determining that wireless communication between the first and second device is not relayed and the second distance being less than the first distance, and performing the service in response to reception and successful verification of the success ciphertext.
