Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to dynamically control and secure the transmission of data within electronic networks, preventing unauthorized use or transmission to incorrect network points.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission control system that generates data tags based on file attributes, switches modes based on network nodes, and employs switching logic to alter traversal paths and security levels, ensuring secure data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is transmitted through multiple network nodes, then data can reach its destination, but the data may be accessed or misused by unauthorized nodes along the path
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data transmission into multiple encrypted packets, each containing only a portion of the original data. This segmentation ensures that even if intermediate nodes intercept packets, they cannot reconstruct or access the complete data without all segments and the decryption key, thus preventing unauthorized access while maintaining transmission reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary encryption mechanism where data is encrypted using a key that is itself encrypted and distributed separately through the network. This intermediary layer protects the original data from unauthorized access at intermediate nodes, as nodes can only access encrypted segments without the decryption capability
2Reliability
If data transmission is controlled and secured through multiple nodes, then security is improved, but transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the encryption and decryption processes are automatically handled by the system without requiring manual intervention at each network node. The encryption key management and data segmentation are performed automatically, reducing the operational complexity while maintaining high security standards
3Object-affected harmful factors
If data is encrypted and segmented for secure transmission, then unauthorized access is prevented, but transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary encryption and segmentation of data before transmission begins. By preparing the encrypted segments in advance and caching them, the system reduces the processing time required during actual transmission, thus preventing unauthorized access while minimizing the time loss associated with encryption operations

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for segmenting and controlling transmission of data in computing networks. The system is configured to identify initiation of transmission of a data file via a network path comprising one or more network nodes; embed a data tag into the data file, wherein the data tag is based on one or more file attributes associated with the data file; and associate a switching logic with the data file, where the switching logic controls switching of the data tag between different modes selected from a plurality of modes based on either one or both of: (i) one or more network nodes that the data file is passing through; and/or (ii) based on information from the one or more network nodes that the data file is passing through, when the data file is transmitted via the network path and the one or more network nodes.
