Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current collaboration tools based on client/server architecture face challenges in ensuring data reliability, confidentiality, and timeliness, especially when handling enterprise-level data, due to limitations in processing speed and exposure of data exchange patterns, which are critical for secure and efficient communication between enterprises.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a communication node that generates and shares control information through a blockchain network to verify authentication and integrity, while transmitting data through a separate network, using techniques like public keys, nonce values, and timestamped hash functions to enhance data security and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is transmitted through a blockchain network to ensure authentication and integrity, then data reliability is improved, but processing speed and timeliness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission process into two separate channels: (1) control information (authentication data, hashes, metadata) is transmitted through the blockchain network to ensure reliability and integrity, while (2) actual data payload is transmitted through a separate high-speed network channel for speed. This segmentation allows each channel to optimize for its specific function without compromising the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces control information as an intermediary element that mediates between the blockchain network and the data transmission. The control information contains authentication data, hashes, and metadata that verify the integrity of the actual data without requiring the actual data to be processed through the slow blockchain network. This intermediary approach enables fast data transmission while maintaining blockchain-level security guarantees.
2Device complexity
If all data is transmitted through a single network channel, then system complexity is reduced, but data confidentiality and exposure control worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the transmission channel into two separate segments: a blockchain channel for control information and a separate network channel for actual data. This segmentation allows different security and confidentiality requirements to be applied to different types of information, reducing overall system risk while maintaining manageable complexity through clear separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the authentication and verification functions into a separate control information stream that is transmitted through the blockchain network, while the actual data payload is extracted and transmitted through a separate high-speed channel. This extraction allows the confidential data to be isolated from the public blockchain, minimizing exposure while maintaining security through the extracted control information.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If blockchain technology is used for enterprise communication, then data confidentiality is improved, but processing capacity and timeliness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data into control information (transmitted through blockchain for confidentiality and authentication) and actual payload data (transmitted through high-capacity separate channels for productivity). This segmentation enables the system to achieve both strong confidentiality guarantees and high processing capacity by allowing parallel transmission through optimized channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The control information acts as an intermediary that provides blockchain-level security and confidentiality guarantees without blocking the high-capacity data transmission channel. The intermediary control information enables verification and authentication while allowing the main data flow to proceed at full speed through separate optimized channels, thus maintaining both confidentiality and productivity.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a communication node, a method of operating the same, and a collaborative system. In an example of the present invention, there may be provided an operation method of a first communication node (a transmission node) comprising: a step of confirming whether data is to be transmitted to the receiving side communication node by a transmitting side communication node among communication nodes connected to each other on the network; a step for generating first control information for verifying authentication and integrity of the data; a step for generating a first control information including information for authenticating and verifying integrity of the data to be transmitted by the transmitting side communication node; a step for sharing the first control information with at least one or more participating communication nodes including the receiving side communication node through a channel formed in a block chain network; and a step for transmitting a message including the data through a channel formed in a network different from the block chain network.
