USER AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349048 titled 'USER AUTHENTICATION
The abstract describes methods and systems for secure communication between computing devices, where a mobile device can communicate with an untrusted device to send encrypted information to a server via the untrusted device's internet connection. The mobile device may encrypt information stored on it and transfer it to the untrusted device, which then sends it to the server.
- Mobile device communicates with untrusted device to send encrypted information to server.
- Untrusted device sends information to server using its internet connection.
- Mobile device encrypts information stored on it to prevent security risks.
- Untrusted device transfers encrypted information to server via network connection.
- Secure communication between devices is achieved through this method.
Potential Applications: - Secure data transfer between devices - Secure remote access to servers - Secure communication in public or untrusted environments
Problems Solved: - Preventing security risks associated with using untrusted devices - Ensuring secure communication between devices - Protecting sensitive information stored on mobile devices
Benefits: - Enhanced security for data transfer - Increased privacy protection for users - Secure communication in potentially risky environments
Commercial Applications: Secure communication technologies can be utilized in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies to ensure secure data transfer and communication.
Questions about Secure Communication Between Computing Devices:
1. How does the encryption process work to secure information transfer between devices?
- The encryption process involves encoding the information in a way that only authorized parties can decrypt and access it.
2. What are the potential risks of using untrusted devices for communication?
- Untrusted devices may pose security risks such as data interception, unauthorized access, and malware threats.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems are disclosed herein for secure communication between computing devices. a mobile device may communicate with an untrusted device to cause the untrusted device to send information (e.g., encrypted information that the untrusted device is unable to decrypt) to a server using an internet connection of the untrusted device. the mobile device may have limited or no access to the internet. to prevent potential security risks associated with using a public or untrusted device, the mobile device may encrypt information stored on the mobile device (e.g., stored in a mobile application associated with the server), send it to the untrusted device (e.g., by displaying a qr code to a camera of the untrusted device), and the untrusted device may send the information to the server via a network connection of the untrusted device.
