Encrypted Submessage Transmission via Split Paths
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security systems encrypt entire messages and then split them, which does not provide the most secure method for communicating electronic transactions, as there is a need to encrypt on a finer level of granularity.
Innovation Solution
The system generates and encrypts submessages, which are then transmitted over different paths, with encryption keys sent in real-time to allow decryption, enabling secure communication by dividing messages into submessages and encrypting each individually.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If entire messages are encrypted and then split into packets, then message transmission is secured, but the security granularity is insufficient and vulnerability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the encryption process into multiple segments by splitting a single message into multiple submessages, each encrypted separately with different encryption keys. This increases security granularity so that compromise of one submessage does not expose the entire message, directly resolving the contradiction between maintaining security and increasing encryption granularity.
2Reliability
If messages are divided into submessages and encrypted individually, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments both the message and the encryption process, creating multiple submessages with separate encryption keys. This segmentation approach improves security by limiting the impact of key compromise while managing complexity through structured organization of submessages and their corresponding keys.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the message (submessages) are encrypted with different local encryption keys tailored to specific segments. This local quality approach allows each submessage to have optimized security characteristics while maintaining overall system manageability, resolving the tension between enhanced security and system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If encryption keys are transmitted in real-time, then decryption capability is ensured, but transmission security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The encryption keys for different submessages are transmitted separately and independently, often through different channels or at different times. This segmentation of key transmission ensures that real-time decryption capability is maintained for each submessage while minimizing security risks by preventing single-point key compromise.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for sending and receiving encrypted submessages. A method for sending and receiving encrypted submessages includes generating a first submessage comprising a first portion of content stored onto a first computer, generating a second submessage comprising a second portion of the content, encrypting the first submessage and the second submessage, transmitting the encrypted first submessage to a second computer via a first path, transmitting the encrypted second submessage to the second computer via a second path, wherein the first submessage and the second submessage are transmitted to the second computer in a batched manner, transmitting an encryption key to the second computer, wherein the encryption key is transmitted to the second computer in real time, wherein the encryption key indicates a decrypting algorithm to decrypt the encrypted first submessage, and wherein the second computer recreates the content by decrypting the encrypted first submessage.
