Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If public-private key cryptography schemes are used, then key sharing and reuse are simplified, but security becomes vulnerable to quantum computing and computational resource advancements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the mathematical parameter from prime numbers to irrational numbers. Specifically, it uses irrational numbers as the basis for one-time pads, which provides both the security properties needed to resist quantum computing attacks and the operational benefits of simplified key management. The irrational numbers are derived from mathematical constants and operations that ensure cryptographic security while enabling efficient key generation and usage.
2Reliability
If one-time pads are used for maximum security, then cryptographic strength is maximized, but storage requirements and key management complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary portion of the one-time pad functionality. Instead of storing and managing complete one-time pads for all possible communications, it extracts and stores only the mathematical constants and operations needed to generate the pads on-demand. This reduces storage requirements while maintaining the security properties of one-time pads.
Solution Approach 2:
The system makes the one-time pads self-generating by using mathematical operations on irrational numbers. The pads are generated dynamically during communication sessions rather than being pre-stored and managed, eliminating the need for complex key management infrastructure while maintaining cryptographic security.
3Quantity of substance
If seeds are reused in the random number generation, then storage requirements are reduced, but security is compromised due to potential pattern recognition and computational attacks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter from reusable seeds to irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are inherently non-repeating and non-terminating, which means they cannot be reused in the same way seeds can be. This provides both security against pattern recognition and computational attacks, while the mathematical properties of irrational numbers ensure that each generation produces a unique, unpredictable result.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of encrypting and decrypting multiple individual pieces or sets of data in which a computing device randomly selects a group of seeds that it then uses to generate irrational numbers. Sections of the generated irrational numbers can be used as one-time pads or keys to encrypt the corresponding data sets. Intended recipients can then reverse the process using their allowed keys to access data for which they have authorization.
