Data Encryption System for Secure Delivery Token Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems are unable to securely transport items without allowing providers to access sensitive delivery information such as addresses.
Innovation Solution
A data encryption system is implemented to generate and transmit delivery tokens that encrypt sensitive information, allowing only authorized distribution systems to decrypt and access the delivery address.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If providers are given access to delivery addresses for item transportation, then delivery operations can be performed, but sensitive user information becomes vulnerable to unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a data encryption system as an intermediary between the provider system and distribution system. This system encrypts sensitive delivery information (addresses, phone numbers) before transmission to providers, and decrypts it only for authorized distribution systems that need to perform delivery operations. This resolves the contradiction by enabling productivity while protecting against data security risks through cryptographic mediation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the state of delivery information from plaintext to encrypted format using cryptographic parameters. By changing the parameter state of the data (from accessible to encrypted), the system enables delivery operations to proceed with encrypted data while preventing unauthorized access, thus resolving the contradiction between operational efficiency and data security.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If sensitive delivery information is encrypted to protect user privacy, then data security is improved, but providers cannot access the information needed for delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The data encryption system acts as a mediator that manages cryptographic keys and decryption processes. It encrypts data for protection while maintaining the ability to decrypt and provide access to authorized distribution systems through secure key management. This resolves the contradiction by enabling both data protection and operational access through intermediary cryptographic management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary encryption of delivery information before it is transmitted to providers or stored in the system. This advance cryptographic processing ensures data is protected from the outset, while authorized distribution systems can subsequently access the information through pre-established decryption mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If delivery addresses are disclosed to all providers requesting service, then service availability is maximized, but user trust and privacy control are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter state of delivery information from plaintext to encrypted format, allowing multiple providers to access the service infrastructure while their ability to read actual addresses remains controlled by cryptographic parameters. This resolves the contradiction by enabling service accessibility through encrypted data while maintaining user trust through cryptographic protection.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for encrypting data are described herein. For example, the system may receive, from an application associated with a provider system, a request for a delivery token. The request may include an address and an identifier of a distribution system. The system may determine a distributor key for decrypting delivery tokens for the distribution system. The system may also identify an encryption key for encrypts delivery tokens, where the encryption key corresponds to the distributor key. The system may generate the delivery token, including the address, using the encryption key. The system may then transmit the delivery token to the application associated with the provider system.
