Solution Overview

Problem

Current decentralized cloud services lack effective auditing and taxation mechanisms, and existing security measures are insufficient to prevent cyber hacking and ensure privacy in anonymous ecosystems.

Innovation Solution

A decentralized computing service with integrated audit and tax services, utilizing a distributed registry for secure communication and payment, and multi-layered virtual machine engines for real-time threat assessment and anonymization, along with probabilistic threat-based dynamic topology adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If decentralized cloud services are implemented with anonymous ecosystems, then user privacy and security are improved, but the ability to audit services for accounting, law enforcement, and tax purposes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser privacy and securityVSAvoidauditability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the system into multiple independent components: distributed registry nodes, virtual machine engines, audit services, and tax services. Each component operates independently but contributes to the overall functionality, allowing audit capabilities to be integrated without compromising the anonymous ecosystem structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary services including audit services and tax services that act as mediators between users and the decentralized cloud infrastructure. These intermediaries enable auditing and taxation functions while preserving user anonymity through cryptographic protocols and zero-knowledge proofs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional security measures like firewalls and authentication are used, then basic security is improved, but the system remains vulnerable to cyber hacking and insufficient for decentralized environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic securityVSAvoidresistance to cyber hacking
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic security measures where the system continuously adapts to threats. Virtual machine engines dynamically provision isolated environments, and the distributed registry dynamically routes requests through multiple nodes, making the system resilient to hacking attempts rather than relying on static firewalls

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs nested virtualization where virtual machine engines create layered isolation. Each virtual machine operates within its own isolated environment nested within the broader decentralized network, providing multiple layers of security that prevent hackers from compromising the entire system through a single point of failure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of operation

If decentralized services operate without centralized control, then user autonomy and privacy are improved, but the ability to collect taxes and enforce local laws deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser autonomyVSAvoidtax collection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the tax service automatically collects and remits taxes without requiring centralized control or manual intervention. The system autonomously identifies taxable transactions, calculates appropriate taxes, and remits them to relevant authorities while maintaining user anonymity and decentralized operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal services that can operate across different decentralized ecosystems. The tax service and audit service are designed to work with any decentralized cloud provider, enabling consistent tax collection and auditing functionality regardless of the specific decentralized platform being used

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A service running on a server includes a method running on a server, for example as a cloud server to provide a decentralized computing solution. The solution includes an audit service, a tax service or a combination thereof. The service includes providing a distributed registry that specifies a plurality of services available to support communications between a user device and a computer related device on a communication network. The pluralities of services specified by the distributed registry are presented to the user device. A request is received from the user device for a particular service from the plurality of services. The request may be made using a zero-knowledge protocol to maintain privacy of a user of the user device. The particular service includes an additional requested service for at least one of an auditability and taxability service. The particular service is provided along with the additional requested service.
