Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for an efficient and expedient way to perform testing of data artifacts to validate their trustworthiness within a network environment.

Innovation Solution

A hybrid centralized-decentralized computing platform is used for electronic data artifact testing, which involves uploading data artifacts to an artifact testing platform. The platform employs various validators, including AI-based modules, to analyze the data artifacts and generate confidence levels. These confidence levels are aggregated to produce a final trust score, providing a secure validation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional centralized computing platforms are used for data artifact testing, then system control and coordination are simplified, but processing speed and validation efficiency are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalidation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments validation tasks into multiple independent validator modules that can process data artifacts in parallel. Each validator specializes in specific aspects of data artifact analysis, allowing simultaneous processing without requiring complex centralized coordination for every operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a single-dimensional centralized processing model to a multi-dimensional hybrid architecture combining centralized coordination with decentralized execution. This allows validation operations to occur across multiple levels simultaneously, improving throughput while maintaining control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If multiple validators are used to analyze data artifacts, then validation accuracy and trust score reliability are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrust score accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis to identify key characteristics of data artifacts before invoking validators. Based on these characteristics, it selectively activates only the most relevant validators, avoiding unnecessary processing time while maintaining accurate trust score generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses a dynamic approach where the number and type of validators invoked can be adjusted based on the specific data artifact being analyzed. For high-risk artifacts, more validators are activated for thorough analysis, while low-risk artifacts receive streamlined validation, optimizing the balance between accuracy and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A system is provided for electronic data artifact testing using a hybrid centralized-decentralized computing platform. In particular, the system may comprise an artifact testing platform that may be accessed by users and computing devices within a network. Users may upload a data artifact to the artifact testing platform to be validated by the system. The system may then use a number of different validators (e.g., artificial intelligence-based modules) that may read the data artifact and/or the associated metadata and generate a confidence level based on the characteristics of the data artifact. The confidence levels from each validator may be aggregated to generate a final trust score for the data artifact. If the final trust score is below a first threshold, blocking the user computing device from opening the electronic file and if the final trust score is below a second threshold, performing network segmentation of the user computing device.
