Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication networks face challenges in ensuring secure and efficient data transfer, particularly in enterprise networks, where cyber-attacks are prevalent and high-speed bandwidth is often lacking, especially in military and mobile wireless combat situations.
Innovation Solution
A blockchain-based network architecture combined with a hash-based cuckoo filter is employed, where the header of transactions is sent over a blockchain network for security and the payload over a non-blockchain network, utilizing a permissioned blockchain network managed by an authority and leveraging peer-to-peer decentralized architecture to reduce messaging overhead and enhance security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all transaction data is sent over a blockchain network, then security is improved, but bandwidth consumption and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides transaction data into two segments: transaction headers are sent over the blockchain network for security and immutability, while transaction payloads are sent over a separate non-blockchain network for efficiency. This segmentation allows each part to be transmitted through the most appropriate channel, resolving the contradiction between security and bandwidth consumption.
2Reliability
If all transaction data is sent over a blockchain network, then security is improved, but latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting transaction data into headers and payloads, the patent enables parallel transmission through different networks. The header (critical for security) goes through the blockchain network while the payload (larger data) goes through a faster non-blockchain network, significantly reducing overall latency while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hybrid network architecture as an intermediary system that coordinates between blockchain and non-blockchain networks. This intermediary manages the splitting and routing of transaction data, allowing simultaneous transmission through both networks and optimizing the balance between security and speed.
3Loss of energy
If a hybrid blockchain and non-blockchain network is used, then bandwidth efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a network component that acts as an intermediary to manage the complexity of the hybrid system. This component automatically handles the splitting of transactions into headers and payloads, selects appropriate networks for transmission, and coordinates data flow, thereby reducing the operational complexity for users while maintaining the benefits of the hybrid architecture.

AI summary
Various embodiments that pertain to an enterprise network that employs a block chain portion and a non-block chain portion. For a single transaction, a header of the transaction can be sent over the block chain network and the non-header of the transaction can be sent over the non-block chain network. A hash-based cuckoo filter can be used for communication of the header along the block chain network.
