Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If predictable n-state switching functions are used in cryptographic devices, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but security is compromised because the finite number of solutions can be cracked by advanced machines including quantum computers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the Finite Lab-Transform (FLT) to modify n-state switching functions by changing their parameters and structure. This transformation creates novel switching devices that are mathematically equivalent but computationally unpredictable, thereby improving security without fundamentally changing the cryptographic operation framework
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional predictable cryptographic switching functions with FLT-modified switching functions. This substitution introduces unpredictability into the cryptographic operations, making them resistant to attacks by advanced machines including quantum computers, while maintaining the same operational interface
2Reliability
If larger key sizes are used to maintain security, then security is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The FLT modification changes the computational parameters of cryptographic operations, making them unpredictable while maintaining efficiency. This allows the use of smaller key sizes because the transformed operations provide enhanced security through their computational unpredictability rather than relying solely on key size
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic unpredictability into cryptographic operations through FLT-modified switching functions. This dynamic behavior makes the cryptographic system adaptable and resistant to analysis, allowing efficient processing with smaller keys while maintaining high security standards
