Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional encryption methods are inadequate in providing a high level of security against unauthorized access, as they can be vulnerable to unauthorized users attempting to isolate and descramble data due to predictable patterns and processes.

Innovation Solution

A system that scrambles data using a combination of entropy processing, key chaos processing, data chaos processing, and permutation processing, generating scrambled frames with decoy blocks and sync blocks, and includes a key path and codeword history to confound unauthorized attempts, while allowing authorized users to duplicate these processes for descrambling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional encryption methods are used to protect data, then data can be scrambled to make it unintelligible, but the systematic scrambling patterns make it vulnerable to unauthorized descrambling attempts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidscrambling process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the scrambling process into four distinct processing stages: entropy processing, key chaos processing, data chaos processing, and permutation processing. Each stage operates on the data independently with specific transformations, making the overall system more complex but also more secure against unauthorized descrambling attempts since each segment adds an additional layer of protection that must be correctly reversed in sequence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple different processing techniques (entropy, key chaos, data chaos, and permutation) into a composite scrambling system. This composite approach integrates diverse mathematical and computational methods that work together to create a multi-faceted encryption barrier, where each component contributes unique security properties that are difficult to break without the proper key and process knowledge

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If multiple processing steps are used to enhance security, then unauthorized access is more difficult, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity against unauthorized accessVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating entropy values, key chaos sequences, and permutation patterns before the actual data scrambling occurs. These pre-computed elements are stored and then applied during the scrambling process, reducing the real-time computational burden while maintaining the security benefits of multiple processing steps. The authorized descrambling process can efficiently retrieve and apply these pre-prepared transformations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
