Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tactical and enterprise network solutions are not well-suited for mobile and dynamic edge environments, making it difficult to set up, manage, and maintain cloud and client/server applications, supporting networks, and wireless devices in the face of cyber and electronic warfare threats.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically instantiating a network function on a network using a neuromorphic processor, which involves receiving data packets, determining the need for additional network functions based on packet characteristics, loading and instantiating these functions, processing the packets, and automatically destroying the functions upon detection of a trigger.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing network solutions are used in mobile and dynamic edge environments, then network infrastructure is established, but setup, management and maintenance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network function instantiation where network functions are created, modified, and destroyed on-demand based on current network conditions and requirements. The system dynamically adjusts network topology and resource allocation in response to changing mobile edge environments, enabling easy setup and maintenance while maintaining high adaptability.
2Reliability
If network functions are statically configured, then network stability is maintained, but resilience against cyber and electronic warfare threats is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes network configuration parameters dynamically based on threat detection and network conditions. When cyber or electronic warfare threats are detected, the network automatically modifies routing parameters, security policies, and function instantiation parameters to enhance resilience without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The network performs self-protection by automatically detecting threats and initiating countermeasures through dynamic function instantiation and configuration changes. The system monitors network traffic, identifies anomalies, and autonomously adjusts network behavior to neutralize threats, reducing the need for complex external intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If network infrastructure is expanded to support more functions, then service capability is improved, but management and maintenance difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal network function framework where a single platform can instantiate multiple different network functions (routing, security, caching, etc.) based on demand. This multi-functional approach expands service capability while avoiding the complexity of maintaining separate dedicated infrastructure for each function, as all functions share common resources and management mechanisms.

AI summary
Aspects of the present application comprise an edge-based polymorphic network and associated agentless security solutions. Present systems and methods may effectively shapeshift the network through network topology management, node templates, link templates, and network packet manipulation. Using agentless techniques, the network may be reshaped when attacks are detected in a manner that impacts only the attacker, and an agentless color theory security solution may be used to dynamically protect network traffic.
