COMPUTER SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTED CYBERSECURITY FOR MATRIX BARCODE INTERACTION WITH SMART DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291861 titled 'COMPUTER SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTED CYBERSECURITY FOR MATRIX BARCODE INTERACTION WITH SMART DEVICE
Abstract: Cybersecurity is provided for a transaction initiated by a matrix barcode using a smart device connected to a computer network by a device having a computer receiving a reading of a matrix barcode on an item. The matrix barcode electronically points to a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for a web-based resource accessible using the device via a computer network. Using the computer of the device or a service computer, determining information parameters about the matrix barcode, and determining when the URL is identified as a registered service provider in a knowledge corpus communicating with the service computer. The URL can be validated as registered when the URL is identified as corresponding to the registered service provider and based on the information parameters.
- Simplified Explanation:
Cybersecurity measures are implemented for transactions initiated by scanning a matrix barcode with a smart device connected to a computer network. The barcode leads to a URL for a web-based resource, and information parameters are used to verify the URL's legitimacy.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Cybersecurity for transactions using matrix barcodes - Verification of URLs for registered service providers - Utilization of information parameters for validation
- Potential Applications:
- Secure online transactions - Authenticating web-based resources - Preventing fraudulent activities
- Problems Solved:
- Ensuring the legitimacy of URLs - Protecting against cyber threats during transactions - Enhancing trust and security in online interactions
- Benefits:
- Improved cybersecurity for transactions - Reduced risk of fraud - Enhanced user trust in online services
- Commercial Applications:
Title: Enhanced Cybersecurity for Online Transactions This technology can be applied in e-commerce platforms, online banking systems, and digital payment services to ensure secure transactions and protect user data.
- Questions about Cybersecurity for Transactions:
1. How does this technology enhance the security of online transactions? This technology enhances security by verifying the legitimacy of URLs and preventing fraudulent activities during transactions.
2. What are the potential implications of using this cybersecurity measure in e-commerce platforms? Implementing this cybersecurity measure in e-commerce platforms can increase consumer trust, reduce the risk of fraud, and enhance overall security in online transactions.
