Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If signature-based virus detection is used, then known viruses can be identified, but new viruses that do not match known signatures cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating system profiles for trusted applications before they execute, and comparing incoming applications against these pre-established profiles. This allows the system to detect new viruses by identifying deviations from expected behavior patterns, rather than relying on pre-existing virus signatures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where system profiles are continuously updated and refined based on execution data. The learning component analyzes execution patterns and feeds this information back into the profiling system, improving detection accuracy for new threats while maintaining reliability for known viruses.
2Productivity
If system resources are allocated to new applications without verification, then application execution speed is improved, but security against compromised applications deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification by comparing application system profiles against trusted application profiles before allocating resources. This pre-check ensures that compromised applications are identified and blocked before they can execute, maintaining security without impacting the speed of legitimate application deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary verification layer between application submission and resource allocation. The profile comparison mechanism acts as a mediator that quickly assesses application trustworthiness, allowing fast resource allocation for trusted applications while blocking potentially harmful ones.
3Reliability
If hardware transactional memory units are used for resource management, then concurrent execution of trusted applications is ensured, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hardware transactional memory unit performs self-service by automatically managing transaction boundaries and conflict resolution without requiring complex external control logic. This self-managing capability provides reliable concurrent execution while keeping the hardware structure relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex software-based resource management and synchronization mechanisms with hardware-level transactional memory support. This substitution moves the complexity from the software layer to dedicated hardware structures, simplifying the overall system architecture while ensuring concurrent execution safety.
Data Source
AI summary
A system manages resources based on a hardware transactional memory unit. The system stores a system profile map comprising system profiles of applications. The system profile of an application stores information describing system resource utilization of the application. If a request for resources for executing a new application is received, a hardware transactional memory unit determines an amount of memory to be allocated for executing the new application and allocates memory partitions for executing the new application. The system profile of the new application is compared with system profiles in the system profile map. If there are any indicators of compromise representing potential compromise of the new application the request for resources for the new application is denied. The system generates and uses true random numbers.
