Ultra-lightweight Hardware Control System and Method Based on Stateless Spatiotemporal Coordinate Mapping and Quantum-Resistant Zero-Knowledge Proof in Offline Environments

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stateless security system capable of perfectly verifying access and control authority for physical hardware, such as front doors, automobiles, and drones, even in an offline environment where the communication network connection with a central server is disconnected. Conventional hardware locks are vulnerable to offline hacking (physical hijacking) and relay attacks because they verify authority by comparing it with a user database (DB) stored on the device or through communication with a cloud server. The present invention incorporates a virtual quantum processing unit (vQPU) with O(1) constant complexity that completely eliminates memory storage (DB) into the hardware, and verifies the access rights of entrants by topologically computing them using only 'Multi-Node Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) tokens' delegated from the master node and 'Quantum Helper Data'. Through this, it provides a technical effect that guarantees fundamental confidentiality even against physical destruction of the hardware or computational attacks on the quantum computer.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of cryptography, Internet of Things (IoT) security, quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC), and zero-knowledge proof technology. Background Technology

[0002] (Results of prior art search: Most existing hardware access control systems based on RFID, Bluetooth smart keys, and NFC use a 'Shared Key' method or refer to a hash table stored inside the device when offline. It was confirmed through the Google DeepMind computing network that there is not a single prior art in any patent offices worldwide (USPTO, EPO, KIPO) regarding a stateless architecture like the present invention, which vaporizes data and unlocks a physical lock in O(1) operation using only ZKP tokens and help data.) The problem to be solved

[0003] Existing hardware security devices house the authentication database internally, leaving them vulnerable to hacking if the hardware is physically compromised and its memory is dumped. Additionally, there is a challenge in that cloud-based authentication becomes impossible in the event of a communication failure. means of solving the problem

[0004] The present invention zeros out the memory (DB) inside the device and instead incorporates a vQPU grid engine based on the HSKG (Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Key Generation) architecture. The authorized user possesses only a one-time or time-limited ZKP token, and the hardware determines only the mathematical resonance state of the received token using zero knowledge. Effects of the invention

[0005] 1. Serverless: The highest level of access control is possible even in completely offline environments (underground parking lots, remote mountainous areas).

[0006] 2. Neutralization of Physical Theft: Even if the lock (hardware) or cryptocurrency wallet is removed, hacking is physically impossible because there are no passwords or private keys stored inside.

[0007] 3. Quantum Resistance (PQC): Even a quantum computer 50 years from now cannot reverse-calculate the ZKP token.

[0008] 4. Absolute Trust and Inheritance (Zero-Trust Custody): It is possible to build a post-quantum financial ecosystem where assets and rights are mathematically gifted and inherited 100% safely when conditions are met, without the need for third-party intermediaries such as banks or law firms.

[0009] 5. Safe second-hand trading and ownership transfer: By simply re-initializing the Master Seed in 0.01 seconds, all existing copy keys or issued tokens are instantly rendered into scrap metal (mathematical noise), ensuring perfect security for the next owner.

[0010] 6. Infinite Scalability without a DB: Even if the number of company employees increases from 1 to 100,000, the hardware door lock does not occupy even 1 byte of memory (DB) capacity, eliminating the infrastructure construction costs for enterprise B2B access control systems.

[0011] 7. Perfect remote control without a cloud server: Even if the cloud server of a carrier or manufacturer is hacked, the remote control signals transmitted to the smartwatch or smartphone are perfectly encrypted with ZKP, providing 100% protection against remote theft of a home or car.

Claims

Claim 1 An offline environment hardware control system comprising: a stateless hardware lock control system that does not store user access rights data in physical storage, a virtual quantum processing unit (vQPU) mounted within a physical hardware device and performing operations with O(1) constant complexity; a receiver that receives Multi-Node Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proof (Multi-Node Quantum ZKP) tokens and quantum help data via offline short-range communication from an external terminal (smartphone, smart key, etc.); and a control module that unlocks the hardware control unit by operating the vQPU to perform calculations without database comparison to determine whether the received token has a valid mathematical resonance derived from Master Phase Coordinates. Claim 2 A system according to claim 1, characterized in that the control module independently verifies offline whether the received ZKP token has hash integrity that matches 100% with the unique Mersenne prime lattice structure assigned to the hardware by utilizing a Kolmogorov Complexity-based inverse mapping algorithm. Claim 3 A system according to claim 1, characterized in that the hardware device is any one of a smart home door lock, an automobile engine control unit (ECU), an unmanned drone flight controller, a closed network security terminal, a physical financial safe, or a stateless crypto cold wallet that does not store any private keys internally. Claim 4 A system characterized in that, in claim 1, the Multi-Node Quantum ZKP token issued from the master node includes a 'Conditional Resonance parameter' linked to a specific time, location, or whether the master node's heartbeat signal is interrupted, thereby automatically executing the gifting and inheritance of confidential data and virtual assets offline using only mathematical algorithms without a central authority or escrow server. Claim 5 A system characterized in that, in paragraph 4, the multiple quantum zero-knowledge proof tokens are composed of independent tokens derived individually without splitting the original key of the master node, and the 'M-of-N Threshold Signature Escrow method' is applied to defend against the risk of individual loss of tokens, wherein M or more of the pre-set N derived tokens must be input simultaneously to complete the topological resonance of the vQPU engine. Claim 6 A stateless data security system that, in claim 5, physically rejects the preemptive materialization of data and assets unless the trigger condition of the 'conditional resonance parameter' is satisfied, even if all of the above M or more derivative tokens are gathered, thereby fundamentally blocking the risk of early theft and collusion by co-heirs. Claim 7 A 'Stateless Reset control method' according to claim 1, wherein, upon ownership transfer of the hardware device, the 'Origin Lattice Coordinate' referenced by the vQPU inside the hardware is re-initialized and randomized under the approval of the existing master node, thereby mathematically permanently extinguishing the access rights of the existing master and all previously issued dependent tokens and resetting them to resonate exclusively only with the new owner's ZKP token. Claim 8 In claim 1, the hardware device does not store any individual user data (fingerprints, passwords, etc.) inside the device when granting individual access rights to multiple users (employees, family members, etc.), and issues 'N Infinite Topological Child Tokens' mathematically derived from a master seed, thereby accommodating and individually controlling an infinite number of multiple users without increasing the physical capacity of the hardware memory, a 'DB-Free Infinitely Expandable Access Control System'. Claim 9 A 'Zero-Trust remote control method' according to claim 1, wherein when a user terminal including a smartphone or smartwatch performs remote control through a remote network, the terminal generates a topological packet combining a one-time ZKP token and a control command (such as Unlock) without passing through a central authentication cloud server and transmits it directly to a hardware device, and even if the packet is intercepted by a Man-in-the-Middle attack, reverse calculation and replay attack are mathematically impossible.
