CREDENTIAL DEPENDENCY ENCODING AND VERIFICATION BASED ON OTHER CREDENTIAL RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163274 titled 'CREDENTIAL DEPENDENCY ENCODING AND VERIFICATION BASED ON OTHER CREDENTIAL RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for providing credential dependency information in RESTful transactions.

  • Credential management service (CMS) or other server can access credential resource dependencies.
  • Operations include receiving a request for a credential resource, identifying the credential resource with a dependency, identifying dependency characteristics, populating the credential resource with dependent credential, and transmitting the populated credential resource in response to the request.
  • Credential resource and credential path can be established by defining paths to trust anchor entries or dependencies to a trusted computing key of a trusted computing module that attests to trust properties.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure authentication systems, access control mechanisms, and identity management solutions.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in managing and providing credential dependency information efficiently in RESTful transactions, ensuring secure and reliable access to resources.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved security, streamlined credential management, and enhanced trust in transactions.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of secure authentication platforms for various industries.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that provide credential management services in RESTful transactions, but may not specifically focus on credential dependency information.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex dependencies between credentials in a networked environment?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on how the technology handles complex dependencies between credentials in a networked environment.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology when dealing with a large number of credential dependencies?

The patent application does not address the scalability limitations of the technology when dealing with a large number of credential dependencies.


Original Abstract Submitted

various systems and methods of establishing and providing credential dependency information in restful transactions are described. in an example, accessing credential resource dependencies may be performed by a credential management service (cms) or other server, with operations including: receiving a request for a credential resource in a representation state transfer (restful) communication; identifying the credential resource which has a credential path that indicates a dependency associated with a credential; identifying dependency characteristics of the credential resource, based on the dependency; populating the credential resource to include a dependent credential, based on the dependency characteristics; and transmitting the populated credential resource in response to the request. in further examples, the credential resource and the credential path within the credential resource may be established, such as by defining paths to trust anchor entries, or dependencies to a trusted computing key of a trusted computing module that attests to trust properties.
