Unified Encrypted Messaging Fragmentation via Multi-Protocol Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing encryption and communication medium protection methods are insufficient in preventing unauthorized access and eavesdropping of messages, as unauthorized individuals can still intercept and decrypt messages despite encryption and medium protection.
Innovation Solution
Dividing an encrypted message into multiple fragments and transmitting them through different devices and protocols, with each fragment formatted for specific devices and mediums, making it difficult for eavesdroppers to assemble the original message.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If encryption is used to prevent unauthorized reading of messages, then message confidentiality is improved, but unauthorized individuals can still intercept and decrypt messages
Solution Approach 1:
The encrypted message is divided into multiple fragments that are transmitted through different devices and communication protocols. Each fragment alone is insufficient to reconstruct the original message, providing security against interception while maintaining confidentiality.
2Reliability
If messages are transmitted over a protected communication medium, then communication security is improved, but unauthorized individuals may still access the medium to eavesdrop
Solution Approach 1:
The message is segmented and transmitted through multiple different communication mediums and devices. This distributes the risk across multiple channels, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to intercept the complete message by accessing a single medium.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses multiple different communication protocols and devices (text messaging, email, voice protocols, etc.) to transmit message fragments, leveraging the universality of these different communication channels to enhance security against medium-specific attacks.
3Reliability
If an encrypted message is divided into multiple fragments and transmitted via different devices and protocols, then message security against eavesdropping is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the encrypted message into fragments and transmits them through different devices and protocols. This segmentation enhances security by ensuring that interception of one fragment does not compromise the entire message, while the complexity is managed through automated fragment distribution and reassembly processes.

AI summary
A unified encrypted messaging system transmits messages from a first computer to a second computer by dividing the encrypted message into a plurality of encrypted message fragments. A first portion of the plurality of encrypted message fragments is transmitted via a first protocol and a second portion of the plurality of encrypted message fragments is sent via a second protocol. The first portion may be sent via a first device and the second portion may be sent via a second device where the first device is different from the second device. The dividing the encrypted message may include adding a message identifier and fragment identifier to each of the plurality of encrypted message fragments to facilitate reassembly of the encrypted message upon receipt.
