Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If homomorphic encryption parameters are configured with predetermined operation information, then encryption security is improved, but the system cannot support applications with variable operation structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencryption securityVSAvoidsupport for variable operation structures
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic configuration of homomorphic encryption parameters by introducing a noise predictor that estimates noise accumulation based on actual operation history. The system transitions from static predetermined parameters to dynamic parameters that adapt to the actual number and type of operations performed, enabling support for variable operation structures while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the encryption parameters (specifically the guard interval size) based on the predicted noise accumulation from operations. By adjusting the guard interval parameter dynamically according to operation history, the system can adapt to different operation structures while ensuring decryption success and maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the server's operation information is disclosed to configure encryption parameters, then parameter configuration accuracy is improved, but corporate secrets are exposed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration accuracyVSAvoidexposure of corporate secrets
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a noise predictor as an intermediary that estimates noise accumulation without requiring direct access to the server's operation information. The predictor uses operation history and noise prediction values to configure encryption parameters, thereby achieving accurate parameter configuration while preventing exposure of corporate secrets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified model of operation information through operation history and noise prediction values, which are copies or representations of the actual operation data. This allows the client to configure encryption parameters accurately without accessing or exposing the server's actual operation information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Device complexity

If a fixed guard interval is used in homomorphic encryption, then system complexity is reduced, but noise accumulation cannot be properly managed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidnoise management capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a fixed guard interval to a dynamic guard interval that adjusts based on predicted noise accumulation. The noise predictor estimates the noise level after operations and configures the guard interval accordingly, enabling proper noise management while keeping the system relatively simple through automated prediction and configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
