Multi-Payload Secure Messaging with Segmented Encryption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In secure messaging, existing technologies require different messages for different business partners, leading to inefficiencies in sharing overlapping information, as each partner needs a unique decryption key, which is burdensome and inefficient in business processes.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating and sending a message with multiple encrypted payload information items, each decryptable with a unique decryption key, allowing different recipients to access different information items within the same message by controlling access to respective decryption keys.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If different messages with unique decryption keys are used for each business partner, then security and information access control are improved, but device complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The message is segmented into multiple encrypted payload information items, where each item can be decrypted with a specific decryption key. This allows a single message to contain multiple information segments that can be selectively accessed by different recipients based on their key access rights, resolving the contradiction by maintaining security through key-based segmentation while reducing operational complexity through unified message structure
Solution Approach 2:
The message structure is designed to be universal and multi-functional, capable of serving multiple business partners simultaneously. By embedding multiple encrypted payload items with different decryption keys within a single message, the system achieves multi-functionality where one message serves multiple recipients with different access requirements, thereby reducing the need for separate messages for each partner
2Reliability
If different messages are created for each business partner, then information access control is improved, but productivity and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The message is divided into multiple encrypted payload information items, each accessible to specific recipients through their decryption keys. This segmentation enables a single message to be processed once and distributed to multiple partners simultaneously, improving productivity by eliminating the need to create and send separate messages for each partner while maintaining precise information access control
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple messages that would traditionally be sent to different business partners are merged into a single message containing multiple encrypted payload items. This merging approach improves productivity by consolidating multiple communication operations into one, while information access control is maintained through the decryption key mechanism that allows each recipient to access only their intended information
