Hiding Sensitive Text Within Innocuous Messages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for sending sensitive information, such as cryptography, often result in conspicuous encrypted messages that may alert unintended recipients, prompting potential hacking attempts, whereas the goal is to create innocuous-looking messages that conceal sensitive text within non-sensitive text.
Innovation Solution
The method employs data mapping programs and mapping models to convert sensitive text into non-sensitive text by identifying intended recipients and using conversion models to generate innocuous messages that appear to be part of a specific domain, such as news or sports, thereby masking the sensitive information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cryptography is used to send sensitive information, then security is improved, but the message becomes conspicuous and may alert unintended recipients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an intermediary conversion model that transforms sensitive text into non-sensitive text through a mapping relationship. The conversion model acts as a mediator between the sensitive information and the transmission medium, allowing the message to be concealed within innocuous text while maintaining security through the proprietary mapping relationship.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of text sensitivity by converting sensitive text into non-sensitive text through the conversion model. This transformation alters the apparent nature of the message from confidential to innocuous, while the underlying mapping relationship preserves the ability to recover the original sensitive information by the intended recipient.
2Reliability
If sensitive text is hidden within non-sensitive text, then security through obscurity is enhanced, but the complexity of the conversion system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the text in a transformed state using the conversion model. The original sensitive text is copied and transformed into non-sensitive text through the mapping relationship, allowing the same information to exist in both sensitive and non-sensitive forms without requiring complex physical or chemical transformation systems.

AI summary
The method includes receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first text, wherein at least a portion of the received first text is confidential. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, an intended recipient of the received first text. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a first conversion model, which corresponds to the intended recipient. The method further converting, by one or more computer processors, the received first text into a third text that does not include confidential text based upon the identified first conversion model.
