Atomic Internet Security via Message Sharding and Dynamic Encryption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging over the Internet lacks robust security measures, as existing encryption methods are insufficient against malicious actors who can compromise digital certificates and conduct denial-of-service attacks, especially when messages are intercepted before encryption.
Innovation Solution
The atomic internet system employs combinatorial security by breaking messages into shards, distributing them across multiple servers, and using dynamic encryption algorithms, along with a trust chain mechanism that associates content and user atoms, making it computationally expensive for attackers to intercept and decrypt messages, while ensuring only intended recipients can reconstruct the original content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital certificates are used to establish trust, then trust verification is simplified, but security is compromised when certificates are compromised by bad actors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the trust verification process into multiple independent components: content atoms are divided into shards distributed across multiple servers, and trust verification is performed through a chain of cryptographic proofs rather than relying on a single certificate authority. This segmentation eliminates the single point of failure represented by centralized certificate authorities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces content atoms as cryptographic intermediaries that carry their own trust verification data. Instead of relying on external certificate authorities, each content atom contains embedded cryptographic proofs that serve as self-contained verification intermediaries, eliminating the need for trusted third-party certificate issuers.
2Ease of manufacture
If messages are encrypted using common protocols, then encryption implementation is simplified, but vulnerabilities can be discovered by bad actors experimenting with the same protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic encryption where the encryption method is not static but changes based on the specific content being protected. Each content atom receives unique cryptographic treatment with dynamically generated keys and algorithms, preventing attackers from using predetermined vulnerability exploits against fixed protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of encryption by using content-specific cryptographic parameters rather than standardized fixed parameters. Each content atom is encrypted with uniquely generated cryptographic parameters that vary based on the content characteristics, making it impossible for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in standardized encryption implementations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If messages are transmitted over the public Internet, then communication accessibility is improved, but message interception becomes possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments messages into multiple content atoms that are further divided into shards distributed across numerous servers globally. This segmentation ensures that even though communication occurs over the public Internet, an interceptor would need to capture and reconstruct all shards from multiple locations to potentially obtain the original message, making interception practically infeasible.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite communication structure where content atoms combine multiple protective layers: cryptographic encoding, shard distribution across heterogeneous server infrastructure, and trust chain verification. This composite approach allows secure communication over the public Internet by combining multiple security mechanisms that work together to prevent interception.

AI summary
A system and method for the creation of an atomic internet platform and system is herein presented. Within the atomic internet users, content providers, and event managers may create content or user atoms each of which has a trust history and trust history tail. The atomic internet facilitates direct interaction between atoms of any type and provides curation of information, content, and other data in a trustless environment. Browsing and searching as well as payment and value exchange are facilitated in the atomic internet in a secure fashion based upon an examination of the trust history tail and trust history. The trust history is built over time based upon interactions between atoms and a trust history tail and accumulated trust history transactions are indicative of level of trust based upon the length of the trust history tail and accumulated trust history of transactions.
