Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for securely transmitting and storing information over communication networks face challenges in achieving high transmission rates while maintaining data security and integrity, particularly in environments with interference or varying network conditions.
Innovation Solution
The system employs an algorithm that parses and compresses data into multiple datasets, disperses them across multiple storage locations, and encrypts them using deterministic or non-deterministic methods, ensuring no single location has a complete dataset, thereby enhancing security and transmission efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted in conventional formats over communication networks, then data security and integrity are maintained, but data transmission rates are limited by network capacity and interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into multiple data streams that are dispersed across multiple storage locations and transmission paths. This segmentation allows parallel transmission through multiple channels, increasing overall transmission rate while maintaining security through distributed storage where no single location contains complete sensitive information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds temporal and spatial dimensions to data transmission by storing and transmitting data across multiple time periods and physical locations. Data is dispersed synchronously to multiple locations and can be retrieved from any sufficient subset, enabling accelerated transmission through parallel paths while maintaining integrity through redundant distributed storage
2Reliability
If data is encrypted and dispersed across multiple locations, then data security is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments data into multiple encrypted streams and disperses them across distributed storage locations. This segmentation enhances security by ensuring no single location holds complete unencrypted data, while the modular segmented structure makes the complexity manageable through standardized processing units at each location
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the distributed storage system automatically manages data dispersal, encryption, and retrieval coordination without requiring complex centralized control. The system autonomously handles the complexity of multi-location security management through distributed algorithms that operate independently at each storage node
3Productivity
If data is compressed into highly condensed formats to increase transmission rates, then transmission speed improves, but data integrity and security become more difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary compression and encryption to data before dispersal across multiple locations. By pre-processing data into compact encrypted formats, the system achieves high transmission speeds while maintaining integrity through the protective layer of encryption that persists through the compressed state, preventing corruption or unauthorized access during transmission
