1Reliability

If traditional encryption algorithms are used without identification mechanisms, then data protection is provided, but the system cannot dynamically select appropriate algorithms leading to suboptimal security and resource utilization

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-computing and storing encryption algorithm identifiers in lookup tables before they are needed. The system pre-processes encryption algorithms to generate compact identifiers that can be quickly retrieved during runtime, eliminating the need for complex real-time algorithm selection and evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of encryption algorithm identifiers that mediate between the data protection requirement and the encryption algorithm selection. These identifiers act as a bridge, allowing the system to efficiently select appropriate encryption algorithms without directly comparing entire algorithm implementations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple encryption algorithms are maintained for different scenarios, then adaptability improves, but device complexity and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential identifying characteristics of encryption algorithms into separate identifier values, separating the selection mechanism from the full algorithm implementations. This extraction allows the system to maintain multiple encryption algorithms while using a simplified identifier-based selection process that reduces overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal identifier system that can represent multiple different encryption algorithms through a common lookup table structure. This universal mechanism allows the same identifier retrieval process to work across various encryption algorithms, reducing the need for algorithm-specific selection logic

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing encryption algorithms into lookup tables with pre-computed identifiers before runtime operations. This pre-processing ensures that during actual encryption operations, the system can quickly retrieve algorithm identifiers without performing complex searches or comparisons

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified copies of encryption algorithm metadata in the form of compact identifiers stored in lookup tables. These identifier copies allow the system to perform rapid algorithm selection based on lightweight data structures rather than analyzing full algorithm implementations during runtime

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
