Graphical Web Page Rendering Through CDI Malware Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virus and malware protection methods require constant updates to recognize new threats and often fail to prevent infections, compromising user privacy and device security during web surfing.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a CDI gateway that converts web data from digital to analog and back to digital formats, using two embedded computers to isolate user devices from internet threats, ensuring only desired data is received while blocking malware and viruses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If virus and malware protection methods are updated constantly to recognize new threats, then detection capability is improved, but system complexity and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the protection architecture into two separate domains: a digital domain for the internet-connected computer and an analog domain for the protected computer. This segmentation allows each domain to operate independently, with the analog domain providing inherent protection without requiring complex software updates or signature databases.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an analog domain as an intermediary between the internet and the protected computer. This intermediary converts digital data to analog form and back, creating a barrier that blocks malware transmission without requiring complex detection algorithms or constant updates to protection mechanisms.
2Reliability
If traditional virus protection software is used, then some threats are blocked, but new malware infections still occur and user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the vulnerability of digital systems to malware into a benefit by using analog conversion. The analog domain, being inherently immune to digital malware, provides a safe environment for data processing. This approach turns the limitation of analog systems (inability to process digital data directly) into a security advantage that automatically blocks all digital-based threats.
3Productivity
If digital data is transmitted directly between internet and user device, then data transfer efficiency is maintained, but security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The analog domain serves as a mediator in the data transmission path between the internet and the protected computer. Data is converted to analog form, transmitted through the analog domain, and converted back to digital form. This intermediary process maintains data transfer functionality while inherently blocking security threats.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for prevention of malware infection of a user device. A first request for a first web page is received from the user device. Transmitting, to a website associated with the requested first web page and in response to the first request a second request for the first web page. In response to the second request, receiving a first set of data associated with the first web page. Generating, based on a first set of data in the first domain format, a first set of graphical images representing respective portions of the first set of data in a second domain format. Transmitting, to the user device, the first set of graphical images with correlation data configured to enable a user to interact with the graphical images on the user device in a manner that is substantially the same as though the user device had received the first web page in the first domain format and the first web page had been rendered from the first domain format by a program operating on the user device.
