1Reliability

If code-based data exchange requests are used in communication systems, then data exchange operations can be performed, but the system becomes vulnerable to interception and modification by bad actors

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidcomplexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces code-based data exchange mechanisms with light-based communication mechanisms. Light-based communication uses optical signals instead of electrical or digital code signals, making interception and modification significantly more difficult while maintaining the data exchange functionality. This substitution fundamentally changes the medium of communication from vulnerable code-based systems to secure light-based systems.

AI summary

A system comprises a memory communicatively coupled to at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a code-based data exchange request from a user. The code-based data exchange request comprises first user information associated with a user profile. Further, the at least one processor is configured to trigger a request for a retinal scan of the user in response to receiving the code-based data exchange request and receive a result of the retinal scan of the user. The result comprises second user information. The at least one processor is configured to determine that the code-based data exchange request is authentic in response to determining that the first user information and the second user information are associated with the user profile, convert the code-based data exchange request to a light-based data exchange request, and generate a light-guided contract based on the light-based data exchange request.
