PEER-TO-PEER SECURITY STATUS DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969498 titled 'PEER-TO-PEER SECURITY STATUS DETECTION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for detecting security of peer-to-peer devices through data verification and cross-comparison.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • First client device transmits verification data to a second client device.
  • Verification data includes public key verification certificate and time-based session token.
  • Second client device sends a preliminary cross-comparison package to the first client device.
  • First client device generates a cross-comparison package using the preliminary package and local device context data.
  • Cross-comparison package is transmitted to a management service for cross-comparison.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in secure communication between peer-to-peer devices, ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for secure verification and detection of peer-to-peer device security to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, reliable data verification, and protection against spoofing attacks in peer-to-peer communication.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include secure messaging platforms, IoT devices, and any system requiring secure peer-to-peer communication.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to peer-to-peer device security, data verification, and cross-comparison methods in the field of cybersecurity and network communication technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest research in peer-to-peer device security, data verification, and cross-comparison techniques to enhance the effectiveness of security measures.

Questions about Peer-to-Peer Device Security: 1. What are the key components of data verification in peer-to-peer device security? 2. How does cross-comparison enhance the security of peer-to-peer communication?


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are various approaches for peer-to-peer device security detection. In some examples, a first client device transmits verification data to a second client device. The verification data includes a public key verification certificate of the client device, and a time-based session token generated by the first client device. The first client device receives a preliminary cross-comparison package from the second client device. The preliminary package includes a spoof-check token, and peer device context data of the second client device. The first client device generates a cross-comparison package using the preliminary cross-comparison package and local device context data of the first client device, and transmits the cross-comparison package to a management service for cross-comparison.
