1Reliability

If cryptographic techniques are modified or migrated, then security can be improved, but it impacts surrounding infrastructure and requires laborious manual configuration

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidconfiguration effort

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing its own cryptographic configurations, identifying vulnerabilities, and generating remediation plans without requiring manual security expert intervention. The AI/ML models autonomously evaluate cryptographic ontologies and produce optimization recommendations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual cryptographic analysis and configuration processes are replaced with AI/ML-based automated systems. The mechanical process of security experts manually reviewing cryptographic settings is substituted with intelligent algorithms that automatically detect vulnerabilities and suggest improvements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If stronger cryptographic techniques are implemented, then security is improved, but hardware resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidhardware resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts cryptographic parameters such as key lengths, algorithm types, and encryption strength based on hardware capability assessments. AI/ML models analyze the relationship between cryptographic strength and resource consumption, optimizing parameters to achieve adequate security with minimal resource usage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Different cryptographic techniques are applied to different parts of the system based on local hardware capabilities and security requirements. Rather than uniformly applying strong cryptography everywhere, the system tailors cryptographic strength to match local resource constraints while maintaining overall security.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If cryptographic configurations are standardized, then ease of migration is improved, but adaptability to specific hardware capabilities and QoS requirements decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemigration easeVSAvoidhardware optimization

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The cryptographic configuration system is dynamic rather than static. AI/ML models continuously adapt cryptographic settings based on changing hardware capabilities, QoS requirements, and security threats. The system can dynamically adjust configurations during operation to optimize for different conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The cryptographic configuration is segmented into multiple independent components that can be individually optimized. The system divides cryptographic settings into separate configurable elements (algorithms, key lengths, modes) that can be independently adjusted based on specific hardware capabilities and requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Reliability

If manual cryptographic analysis is performed, then security vulnerabilities can be identified, but time and expert resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Manual cryptographic analysis by security experts is replaced with AI/ML-based automated analysis systems. The time-consuming mechanical process of expert review is substituted with intelligent algorithms that can rapidly evaluate cryptographic configurations and identify vulnerabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

AI/ML models serve as intermediaries between cryptographic configurations and security assessment. Rather than direct manual analysis, the system introduces intelligent intermediary layers that automatically evaluate configurations, identify vulnerabilities, and generate remediation recommendations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
