Network identity encryption and authentication for resource access
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230403138A1) describes a computer-readable medium and a computer-implemented method for performing operations using a network identity. The operations include obtaining, encrypting, storing, receiving requests, authenticating, decrypting, and performing actions on a resource. The encryption process involves using an encryption key to encrypt a data element, which is then mapped to the network identity. The authentication of the network identity is done independently of the action and the resource, using standard fields of an existing protocol. The decrypted data element is used to perform the requested action on the resource.
Furthermore, the patent application also includes an authentication system comprising memory devices storing processor-executable instructions and processors configured to execute these instructions. The system performs similar operations as described in the computer-readable medium and method, involving encryption, storage, authentication, decryption, and action performance based on the network identity. The use of standard fields of the existing protocol for authentication ensures the security and performance of the system, with the decrypted data element being associated with the requested action. This innovative approach to network identity operations aims to enhance security and efficiency in performing actions on resources distinct from the network identity.
