Intelligent Agent Message Fragmentation for Secure Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for securing data transmission over insecure channels are inadequate in preventing unauthorized decryption, as they rely on a single encryption key and transmit data as a whole, making it difficult to maintain commercial confidentiality while being cost-effective.
Innovation Solution
The method involves splitting a message into multiple fragments, each encrypted with a unique key by intelligent agents, which are transmitted over different routes, requiring all fragments to arrive before decryption and reassembly, using collaborative agent encryption and decryption techniques.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If data is encrypted and transmitted over insecure channels using traditional methods, then transmission cost is reduced, but security against unauthorized decryption is weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The message is divided into multiple fragments, each encrypted separately with different keys. This segmentation allows the data to be transmitted over insecure channels at lower cost while maintaining security, as intercepting one fragment does not compromise the entire message
Solution Approach 2:
Different fragments of the same message are encrypted with different keys and transmitted through different channels. This local differentiation ensures that even if some fragments are intercepted, the overall security is maintained through the diversity of encryption keys and transmission paths
2Device complexity
If a single encryption key is used for the entire message, then the encryption process is simplified, but the security threshold against decryption is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The message is split into multiple fragments, each encrypted with a different key. This increases the security threshold significantly, as an attacker would need to compromise multiple different keys rather than a single key, while the complexity is managed through automated agent-based encryption
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the encryption parameter from a single key to multiple keys, fundamentally increasing the security threshold. The complexity is balanced by using algorithmic key generation and automated agent coordination
3Ease of operation
If the entire message is transmitted as a whole, then the transmission process is simpler, but the security protection against interception is weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The message is divided into multiple fragments that are transmitted separately. This segmentation enhances security protection against interception, as the complete message cannot be reconstructed from intercepted fragments alone, while the transmission process remains manageable through automated agent coordination
Solution Approach 2:
Intelligent agents act as intermediaries to coordinate the transmission of message fragments. These agents automatically manage the complex coordination of multiple fragments, maintaining ease of operation while enabling enhanced security through distributed transmission

AI summary
A method for securely transmitting data from a sender computer system to a receiver computer system comprises receiving cleartext message by a first intelligent agent environment; splitting said message into a plurality of message fragments; creating an intelligent agent for each message fragment; generating a key for each message fragment; encrypting each said message fragment to produce a respective encrypted message fragment; and transmitting each intelligent agent with said respective encrypted message fragment as a data payload. The method may further comprise receiving each intelligent agent with its respective encrypted message fragment as a data payload by a second intelligent agent environment at the receiver computer system; locating each of a set of agents; decrypting each encrypted respective message fragment to produce a respective cleartext message fragment; and collaborating by the set of agents to recombine cleartext message fragments to form a cleartext message.
