SERVICE ACCESS METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489647 titled 'SERVICE ACCESS METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for service access, which aims to improve service access security. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves obtaining a first identifier corresponding to a service requesting unit from system data.
- It also involves obtaining a second identifier corresponding to a service from a first access request, which indicates that the service requesting unit wants to access the service from a service providing unit.
- An authentication result is determined based on the first and second identifiers, indicating whether the service requesting unit has permission to access the service.
- If the authentication result indicates permission, a second access request is generated.
- The second access request is then sent to the service providing unit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved security in service access: By authenticating the service requesting unit and determining permission before granting access, this method can enhance the security of service access.
- Service provider authentication: The method ensures that the service providing unit receives access requests only from authenticated service requesting units, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Unauthorized access: The method prevents unauthorized service access by verifying the identity and permission of the service requesting unit.
- Security breaches: By implementing authentication and permission checks, the method reduces the likelihood of security breaches and protects sensitive services from unauthorized users.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security: The method improves service access security by authenticating and verifying the permission of the service requesting unit.
- Reduced risk of unauthorized access: By implementing authentication and permission checks, the method reduces the risk of unauthorized users gaining access to services.
- Improved control: The method provides better control over service access, ensuring that only authorized units can access specific services.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application relates to a service access method and apparatus, where the method includes: obtaining, from system data, a first identifier corresponding to a service requesting unit; obtaining, from a first access request, a second identifier corresponding to a service, where the first access request indicates that the service requesting unit requests the service from a service providing unit; determining an authentication result based on the first identifier and the second identifier, where the authentication result indicates whether the service requesting unit has permission to access the service; when the authentication result indicates that the service requesting unit has the permission to access the service, generating a second access request; and sending the second access request to the service providing unit. The service access method and apparatus provided in embodiments of this application can improve service access security.
