Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multisignature operations in blockchain networks require significant real-time human interaction, such as video calls and in-person meetings, which are cumbersome and susceptible to malicious behavior, and do not provide immutable evidence that signing parties understand the operations they are approving.

Innovation Solution

Implement a system that generates natural language text and API requests based on an instruction precursor, sends these to users for signing, and uses cryptographic verification to ensure that a threshold number of authorized parties have read and understood the operations, utilizing an airgap device for secure execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional verification methods (face-to-face meetings, telephonic meetings, video meetings) are used to verify signing parties, then the reliability of multisignature operations is improved, but the device complexity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification reliabilityVSAvoidverification complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical verification systems (face-to-face meetings, video calls, telephonic conferences) with a cryptographic verification system. The system generates cryptographic proofs that verifiers can independently validate without requiring real-time interaction with signing parties. This substitution eliminates the need for complex coordination infrastructure while maintaining or enhancing verification reliability through immutable cryptographic evidence.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cryptographic proofs as an intermediary between signing parties and verifiers. These proofs serve as self-contained evidence that can be independently validated by any verifier without requiring direct communication with signers. The cryptographic intermediary captures all necessary verification information in a tamper-proof format, eliminating the need for complex real-time verification protocols.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional verification methods are used to ensure signing parties understand operations, then the reliability is improved, but the productivity and scalability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformed consent verificationVSAvoidoperational efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by generating cryptographic proofs that capture and preserve evidence of informed consent at the time of signing. The system records which signing parties reviewed which operation details before signing, creating immutable evidence that can be independently verified later. This preliminary capture of verification evidence eliminates the need for time-consuming real-time verification processes, significantly improving productivity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates cryptographic copies of verification evidence that can be independently validated by any number of verifiers simultaneously. Instead of requiring a single centralized verification process, the system generates copyable cryptographic proofs that preserve all verification information. Multiple verifiers can independently validate the same evidence without interfering with each other, enabling parallel verification processes that scale efficiently.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If cryptographic verification systems are implemented without natural language representations, then the productivity is improved, but the reliability of informed consent verification deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification efficiencyVSAvoidinformed consent assurance

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges cryptographic verification with natural language representations by embedding human-readable operation descriptions directly within the cryptographic proof structure. The cryptographic proof captures both the technical operation details and their natural language explanations, allowing verifiers to independently assess whether signing parties truly understood the operations. This merging ensures that cryptographic efficiency does not come at the cost of informed consent verification reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
