Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fog computing technologies lack multiple communication channels with protocol-free encryption devices (PFED) and do not provide fog computing services, necessitating separate technologies for each.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single channel is used for communication with PFED, then device complexity is reduced, but communication versatility and security are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multiple communication channels (first channel for management communications, second channel for data communications) within the PFED system, allowing a single device to perform multiple functions simultaneously. This enables the system to handle both management traffic and data traffic through dedicated channels, improving versatility without requiring separate devices for each function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fog computing services are integrated into PFED, then service capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines fog computing services directly within the PFED device structure, merging previously separate functions (encryption/retransmission and fog computing services) into a single integrated device. This allows the PFED to simultaneously perform protocol-free encryption, multi-channel communication, and provide fog computing services like content caching and edge processing.
3Reliability
If encryption and retransmission functions are separated, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the PFED device into distinct functional units: an encryption unit for encrypting/decrypting packets and a retransmission unit for handling packet retransmission. This segmentation allows each unit to specialize in its function, improving communication reliability through dedicated handling of encryption and retransmission tasks while maintaining integration within a single device.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for facilitating fog computing and providing resiliency against attacks. The system comprises a data center device, a network switch, and encryption retransmission devices. The encryption retransmission devices comprise an encryption unit and a communication unit. The encryption unit encrypts an egressing native packet received from the network switch and adds a connectionless header forms an egressing connectionless datagram, and decrypts an encrypted ingressing native packet of an ingressing connectionless datagram. The communication unit adds a complex header to the egressing connectionless datagram for forming an egressing packet for delivery to an external encryption retransmission device, receives an ingressing packet comprising the encrypted ingressing native packet and a complex header from the external encryption retransmission device, removes the complex header and adds a connectionless header forming the ingressing connectionless datagram. The data center device performs data center operation on the ingressing native packet to generate the egressing native packet.
