Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for efficient data security measures to protect data stored at third-party locations, particularly in cloud computing environments, where data must be anonymized for transmission and de-anonymized upon retrieval, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining data integrity and usability.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for anonymizing data using a conversion from a first base encoding scheme to a second base encoding scheme, employing an anonymization module to derive anonymized data that meets predefined characteristics, and de-anonymizing data using a corresponding strategy, ensuring secure transmission and retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted in clear format to third-party cloud computing locations, then data accessibility and processing efficiency are improved, but data security and protection from unauthorized access deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming data from a clear encoding scheme to an encoded encoding scheme before transmission. The system changes the parameter of data representation through encoding/decoding operations, allowing the data to maintain processing efficiency while being protected during transmission to and from third-party cloud computing locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of an encoding/decoding module that acts as a mediator between the clear data and the transmission channel. This intermediary component securely transforms data before transmission and reverses the transformation upon receipt, enabling safe data exchange with third-party services while maintaining accessibility.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If data is encoded to protect it during transmission, then data security is improved, but data usability and processing capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing encoding operations on data before transmission to a third-party location, and corresponding decoding operations immediately upon receipt. This preliminary encoding/decoding sequence ensures data is protected during transmission but quickly restored to usable form for processing, balancing security with usability.
Solution Approach 2:
The encoding/decoding module serves as an intermediary that temporarily transforms data into an encoded form for secure transmission, then restores it to its original usable form. This intermediary mechanism allows data to be both secure during transmission and fully usable for processing operations.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If data is anonymized for transmission to third-party locations, then data protection and compliance are improved, but data integrity and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes through reversible encoding transformations that alter data representation parameters during transmission. The encoding process changes data parameters in a controlled manner that maintains integrity, and the decoding process restores the original parameters, ensuring both protection during transmission and accuracy upon receipt.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback through the encoding/decoding verification process. The system encodes data, transmits it, then decodes it and verifies the result matches the original. This feedback mechanism ensures data integrity and accuracy are maintained while providing protection during transmission to third-party locations.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. The data includes a plurality of numbers and defines a clear data in a first base encoding scheme, with one or more predefined characteristics. The clear data is converted to a modified clear data in a second base encoding scheme. The modified clear data is anonymized using an anonymization module, to derive an interim anonymized data in the second base encoding scheme. A converted interim anoymized data in the first base encoding scheme is designated as the anonymized data, if the converted interim anonymized data meets the predefined characteristics of the clear data. The anonymized data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network.
