Solution Overview

Problem

Existing file protection methods for module files, especially in machine learning applications, face challenges in maintaining security and efficiency, particularly when dealing with large datasets like medical images, where data upload to a server is lengthy and risks of leakage or eavesdropping are high.

Innovation Solution

A file protection method and system that intercepts data sections from a module file, encrypts them using a dynamic password, and updates the file by integrating other sections, making it difficult to restore the original file, while using a storage system with a data accessing, intercepting, and encryption unit to enhance security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the module file is stored on the server to avoid leakage and eavesdropping, then security is improved, but the data processing time becomes lengthy when dealing with large datasets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile securityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The module file is divided into multiple data sections, with specific sections (e.g., fourth to seventh sections) being encrypted using different passwords. This segmentation allows the file to remain on the client device for fast access while protecting only the critical portions, thus reducing processing time without compromising security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different password protection levels are applied to different data sections based on their sensitivity. Critical sections use encryption while less sensitive sections remain unencrypted, enabling fast processing of non-critical data while maintaining security for important information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the entire module file is encrypted to protect security, then security is improved, but the file restoration and processing speed becomes slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile securityVSAvoidfile restoration speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Only specific data sections (fourth to seventh sections) are encrypted with passwords, while other sections remain unencrypted. This selective encryption approach maintains security for critical data while allowing rapid restoration and processing of the entire file by decrypting only the necessary portions when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of encrypting the entire file, only the essential data sections are encrypted. This partial action approach provides sufficient security protection while minimizing the impact on file restoration speed and overall processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
