Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional data access and transfer methods are used, then resource utilization and bandwidth efficiency are improved, but data security and integrity are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a data stencil as an intermediary layer between the data source and target application. The stencil contains structured data definitions and validation rules that mediate the data transfer process, ensuring security requirements are met while enabling efficient data access and transfer across systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining data stencils with security constraints, data types, and validation rules before actual data transfer occurs. This allows security policies to be established in advance, enabling efficient data processing without compromising security during runtime operations.
2Ease of operation
If data is transferred across networks and systems, then data accessibility and operational efficiency are improved, but unauthorized access risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The data stencil acts as a mediator that sits between data sources and target applications, enforcing security policies while allowing data to flow freely. The stencil validates data against predefined rules and controls access based on security constraints, enabling easy data accessibility without exposing systems to unauthorized access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes data parameters by transforming raw data into structured formats that conform to stencil definitions. Data is converted to match predefined schemas with embedded security constraints, allowing flexible data access while maintaining security through parameter validation and transformation.
3Reliability
If dynamic data stenciling is implemented, then data security and access control are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transfer system into distinct components: data sources, data stencils with security constraints, and target applications. Each stencil is an independent, reusable template that defines specific data structures and security rules, making the overall system more manageable despite its complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Data stencils are designed as universal, multi-functional components that can be reused across multiple data sources and target applications. A single stencil can enforce security policies for different data types and access scenarios, reducing overall system complexity through component reuse and standardization.
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to deploying and utilizing a dynamic data stenciling system with a smart linking engine. A computing platform may receive source data from one or more data source systems. Subsequently, the computing platform may identify a target application hosted by an enterprise application host platform as being an intended recipient of a portion of the source data. Then, the computing platform may select a dynamic data stencil from a plurality of available data stencils. Thereafter, the computing platform may overlay the portion of the source data onto the target application using the dynamic data stencil. In addition, by overlaying the portion of the source data onto the target application using the dynamic data stencil, the computing platform may cause the target application to execute one or more data processing functions using the portion of the source data received from the one or more data source systems.
