Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces digital encryption mechanisms with an analog signal processing approach. Instead of using complex digital algorithms and computational cryptography, the invention uses analog modulation techniques where a message signal is mixed with a carrier signal that has been modulated by a key signal. This substitution of digital systems with analog systems fundamentally changes the encryption paradigm, reducing computational complexity while maintaining security through physical signal manipulation rather than mathematical complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by modulating the carrier signal's characteristics (amplitude, frequency, or phase) using the key signal. The carrier's parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the key signal's variations, creating an encrypted signal where the original message is hidden within the modulated carrier. This parameter modulation approach transforms the encryption problem from digital bit manipulation to continuous parameter variation, simplifying the system while enhancing security.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By replacing digital encryption with analog signal processing, the patent eliminates vulnerabilities associated with digital attack strategies such as brute-force decryption, cryptographic algorithm exploits, and computational weaknesses. The analog approach uses physical signal characteristics and continuous parameter variations that are inherently resistant to digital computational attacks, as they rely on signal processing rather than mathematical complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a carrier signal as an intermediary between the message signal and the key signal. The carrier acts as a mediator that carries the modulated key information, creating a layered signal structure where the message is embedded within the carrier. This intermediary carrier signal provides an additional layer of protection and obfuscation, making it difficult for attackers to directly access or manipulate the original message or key without proper analog processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the message signal and key signal processing into a single analog modulation operation. Instead of separate digital encryption steps, the invention combines the message modulation and key integration into one unified analog process where the key signal directly modulates the carrier and the message is mixed with the modulated carrier. This merging of operations simplifies the overall process while maintaining strong encryption through the continuous analog manipulation of signal parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A method is disclosed wherein an analog message signal is received with a finite length. An analog key signal is also received having a finite length at least as long as the analog message signal. An encryption carrier is generated and then an encryption operation initiated to encrypt the analog message. First, the encryption carrier is modulated with the analog key signal, generating an encryption dynamic carrier. Then, the analog message signal is mixed with the encryption dynamic carrier, with the mixing process initiated at an initial key starting point of the analog key signal and an initial message starting point. An encrypted message signal is output from the mixing process, which encrypted message signal has a starting point that coincides with both the message starting point and the key starting point and an encrypted message end point coinciding with the encrypted message signal end point.
