Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is stored on blockchain uplink for transparency and immutability, then data verification reliability is improved, but data disclosure timeliness deteriorates due to immediate public availability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by encrypting data before it is stored on the blockchain uplink. The data is encrypted using asymmetric encryption algorithms (such as RSA or Elliptic Curve Cryptography) so that when data is immediately made public on the blockchain, it appears as unreadable ciphertext. The decryption capability is prepared in advance through the encryption mechanism, allowing the data to be decrypted and made readable at the desired future time without requiring immediate public disclosure of the plaintext.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of data accessibility by transforming readable plaintext into encrypted ciphertext before storage. This parameter change allows the data to maintain its presence on the blockchain for verification while changing its state from immediately readable to encrypted, enabling controlled future disclosure at predetermined times without compromising the immediate verification capability.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If data is encrypted for delayed disclosure, then data security is improved, but data verification capability deteriorates due to encryption preventing immediate access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of asymmetric encryption algorithms that separate the verification function from the disclosure function. The encryption algorithm acts as an intermediary layer that allows data to be stored and verified on the blockchain while maintaining security. The public key serves as an intermediary that enables verification without revealing the private decryption key, thus maintaining both security and verification capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data access function into two separate components: encryption for security and decryption for verified access. By segmenting these functions through asymmetric cryptography, the system can maintain data verification capability through the public key while using the private key for secure delayed disclosure, preventing unauthorized access during the delay period.
3Loss of time
If immediate data disclosure is implemented for timeliness, then data accessibility is improved, but data security deteriorates due to immediate public availability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by encrypting data before blockchain storage, so that when data is immediately made public on the blockchain, it appears as unreadable ciphertext. The decryption capability is prepared in advance through the encryption mechanism, allowing the data to be decrypted and made readable at the desired future time without requiring immediate public disclosure of the plaintext.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If encryption algorithms are applied to data, then data security is improved, but processing complexity increases due to encryption and decryption operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the principle of using efficient, well-established encryption algorithms (such as RSA or Elliptic Curve Cryptography) that provide strong security with relatively low computational overhead. These algorithms are designed to be computationally efficient enough for blockchain applications, balancing security requirements with processing complexity constraints.
