Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple communication pathways are used to ensure equitable distribution, then fairness is improved, but the risk of deceptive diversion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication service that acts as a mediator between the communication sender and recipients. This service verifies the identities of all parties before allowing communication through selected pathways, thereby preventing deceptive diversion while maintaining equitable distribution across multiple pathways. The intermediary validates authentication credentials and ensures that no single party can manipulate the communication flow deceptively.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where authentication results and pathway selection outcomes are continuously monitored and reported back to the authentication service. This feedback loop allows the system to detect potential deceptive behaviors, adjust pathway selections dynamically, and maintain security while ensuring equitable communication distribution across validated pathways.
2Reliability
If authentication is performed for each device, then security is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs authentication actions in advance before communication pathways are established. Devices are pre-authenticated and their credentials are verified before they are added to the pool of eligible communication pathways. This preliminary authentication ensures security is maintained while reducing processing time during actual communication events, as the authentication work has already been completed beforehand.
3Loss of information
If pathway selection is randomized, then privacy is improved, but predictability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic pathway selection that balances randomness with controlled predictability. While the specific pathway chosen may vary randomly to protect privacy, the selection process itself is governed by defined algorithms and constraints that ensure fair distribution across available pathways. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain privacy through variability while preserving operational predictability through structured selection criteria.
