Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cybersecurity measures for computer-related devices are limited in effectively preventing cyber hacking, as they rely on user authentication and firewalls, which are not sufficiently dynamic or responsive to real-time threats.
Innovation Solution
A distributed cloud computing infrastructure using multi-layered virtual machine engines and a distributed registry that dynamically constructs and alters multi-node processing pathways based on probabilistic threat assessments, ensuring that only the correct nodes are addressed with the right encryption at the right time, making it difficult for attackers to successfully intercept transactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional authentication and firewall measures are used, then basic security is provided, but the system is not sufficiently dynamic or responsive to real-time threats
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service pathways that are constructed and adjusted in real-time based on threat assessments. The system transitions from static authentication and firewall rules to dynamically generated communication routes that adapt to current security conditions, making the system both reliable and responsive to emerging threats.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates continuous monitoring and feedback mechanisms that assess threats in real-time and automatically adjust service pathways accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to respond to new threats as they are detected, improving both security effectiveness and adaptability.
2Reliability
If static processing pathways are used, then system complexity is reduced, but security against interception and attacks is weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication pathway into multiple service nodes that are dynamically constructed. Instead of a single static path, the system divides communication into multiple segments that can be independently configured and adjusted, increasing security against interception while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds temporal and spatial dimensions to pathway construction by creating multi-node transient pathways that exist only for specific transactions. This dimensional approach to pathway creation enhances security without requiring permanently complex infrastructure, as pathways are constructed on-demand and then dissolved.
3Reliability
If dynamic multi-node transient processing pathways are constructed, then security is enhanced, but system complexity and computational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary threat assessments and pathway constructions before actual communication occurs. By preparing security pathways in advance based on predicted threats, the system reduces the computational overhead during actual transactions while maintaining high security standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the system automatically constructs, manages, and dissolves transient pathways without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces operational complexity while maintaining the security benefits of dynamic pathway construction through algorithmic decision-making.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product provides security in a communication network between a user device and a computer related device, and receives payment for services offered through a distributed registry associated with the communication network. One or more processors provide 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 processor(s) dynamically construct one or more multi-node transient processing pathways between the user device and the computer related device based on the services. The processor(s) present the plurality of services specified by the distributed registry to the user device, and append metadata describing a current cryptocurrency cost of the services. The processor(s) then charge the current cryptocurrency cost to a cryptocurrency account associated with the user device and provide the particular service to the user device.
