DEVICE AND METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS OF DISTRIBUTED DATA SOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537356 titled 'DEVICE AND METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS OF DISTRIBUTED DATA SOURCES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device and method for providing access to distributed data sources through a cloud security server. The server assigns trust levels to data sources and client devices, authenticates client devices, verifies trust levels, and brokers connections between client devices and data sources.
- The cloud security server associates data sources and client devices with an account
- Trust levels are assigned to data sources and client devices
- Client devices request data from the cloud security server
- The server authenticates client devices and verifies trust levels
- If verified, the server brokers a connection between the client device and the data source
- Client devices access the requested data
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and government where secure access to distributed data sources is crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of securely accessing data from multiple sources while maintaining trust levels and authentication protocols.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, efficient data access, and centralized management of trust levels for data sources and client devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include secure data sharing platforms, IoT networks, and cloud service providers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be secure data access protocols used in enterprise systems or cloud computing environments.
What are the potential cybersecurity risks associated with this technology?
Potential cybersecurity risks associated with this technology include unauthorized access to sensitive data, data breaches, and trust level manipulation leading to data manipulation.
How does this technology compare to traditional data access methods in terms of efficiency and security?
This technology offers enhanced security through trust level assignments and authentication protocols, as well as improved efficiency by brokering connections between client devices and data sources. Traditional data access methods may lack these security features and centralized management capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device and method for provided access to distributed data sources includes a cloud security server configured to associate any number of data sources and client devices with a cloud security server account. The cloud security server assigns trust levels to the data sources and the client devices. A client device requests data from the cloud security server. The cloud security server authenticates the client device and verifies the trust levels of the client device and the requested data. If verified, the cloud security server brokers a connection between the client device and the data source, and the client device accesses the requested data. Data sources may include cloud service providers and local storage devices. The cloud security server may assign a trust level to a client device for a limited time or revoke a trust level assigned to a client device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
