Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional encryption algorithms are used, then encryption process is simple and fast, but the encryption is susceptible to cryptanalysis techniques such as frequency analysis, n-tuple analysis, dictionary attacks, and brute force hacking
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary encryption of the input code using a first encryption algorithm, then subsequently decrypts it using multiple additional encryption algorithms to generate synthetic codes. This preliminary action of encrypting before analyzing allows the system to evaluate security vulnerabilities without exposing the actual plaintext, thereby improving security while maintaining a manageable process flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates vulnerability scores based on the similarity between the original input code and the synthetic decrypted codes, then uses this feedback to determine whether to notify the user or apply a second encryption algorithm. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt its behavior based on security assessment results, improving reliability while keeping the overall process structured and manageable.
2Reliability
If multiple encryption algorithms are applied to enhance security, then decryption difficulty increases, but the processing time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies multiple encryption algorithms (excessive action) to generate synthetic codes for security assessment, but only performs the full multi-algorithm encryption flow when vulnerability scores indicate a need (partial action). This approach ensures comprehensive security testing when necessary while avoiding unnecessary computational overhead for low-risk cases, thereby balancing security enhancement with processing time consideration.
3Measurement precision
If vulnerability assessment is performed using multiple decryption algorithms, then security evaluation accuracy improves, but the complexity of the assessment process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vulnerability assessment process is segmented into distinct steps: encrypting with the first algorithm, decrypting with multiple additional algorithms, generating synthetic codes, calculating similarity scores, and determining vulnerability levels. This segmentation allows each step to be optimized independently and makes the overall complex assessment process more manageable and implementable while maintaining high measurement precision through multiple decryption algorithms.
