Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cybersecurity measures are inadequate in protecting data transmissions, especially against advanced threats from quantum computing and interception, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses and corporations.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that splits data packets into multiple transport paths with diverse modalities, formats them based on associated modalities, and uses unique encryption hopsets to enhance security, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple transport paths with diverse modalities are used, then cybersecurity protection is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The data stream is segmented into multiple data packets that are distributed across different transport paths. Each packet is formatted with specific headers identifying its modality and path, enabling the receiver to reassemble the original data stream from multiple sources while maintaining security through diversification of transport modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs a universal formatting mechanism that can handle multiple transport modalities (RF, microwave, millimeter wave, infrared, visible light) through a common packet structure. This multi-functional approach allows the same data stream to be transmitted across diverse media while maintaining consistent security and reassembly protocols.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If data packets are split into multiple bins with different modalities, then the likelihood of complete data interception decreases, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from single-path transmission to multi-dimensional transport by distributing data packets across different modalities (RF, microwave, millimeter wave, infrared, visible light) and physical media (wired, wireless, satellite). This dimensional diversification makes interception significantly more difficult as an attacker would need to simultaneously compromise multiple independent transmission channels.
Solution Approach 2:
Each data packet is formatted with specific local quality characteristics including modality identifiers, path identifiers, and sequencing information tailored to its specific transport medium. This localized formatting enables the receiver to properly route and reassemble packets from diverse sources while maintaining security through path-specific encryption hopsets.
3Loss of information
If unique encryption hopsets are assigned for different transport paths, then data confidentiality is protected, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Encryption hopsets are assigned and configured in advance for each transport path before data transmission begins. The system pre-establishes the mapping between data packets, their designated transport paths, and the corresponding encryption hopsets, eliminating the need for real-time encryption key selection and reducing processing overhead during actual data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary formatting layer that manages the complexity of multiple encryption hopsets. This formatting mechanism encapsulates encryption information within standardized packet headers, allowing the system to handle multiple encrypted streams through a unified processing interface, thereby reducing the time penalty associated with managing multiple encryption schemes.

AI summary
Enhancing cybersecurity protection during data packet transportation. This involves selecting transport paths differing by a respective modality with one or more processors and associating a plurality of bins, each with a respective modality of a respective transport path. The data packets are split into packets of the bins and formatted based on the associated modality. The respective data packets of each of the bins are transported with the respective transport path of the transport paths. The count of the transport paths is greater than one.
