Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information handling systems lack secure methods for transmitting data between computing devices, particularly in scenarios where the authenticity of the data sender needs to be verified.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a central server that receives identifying information from a first computing device, generates a textual statement based on data from a second computing device, and verifies the authenticity of the second user through media recordings and communication channels before transmitting the data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional data transmission methods are used, then data exchange is simple and fast, but security and authenticity verification are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity verificationVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification process is segmented into multiple independent factors: biometric authentication, device verification, contextual validation, and cryptographic confirmation. Each factor operates independently and contributes to the overall security assessment, allowing the system to verify authenticity without requiring a single complex verification mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A central server acts as an intermediary between communicating parties, coordinating the multifactor verification process. The server receives verification data from multiple sources, processes authenticity checks, and manages the exchange of cryptographic tokens, thereby distributing system complexity to a dedicated coordination component rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer verification logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multifactor verification is implemented, then security is improved, but transmission time and process complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission securityVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Biometric data and device verification credentials are pre-collected and stored during device setup and user registration. Cryptographic key pairs are generated in advance. When data transmission occurs, the system leverages these pre-prepared verification elements rather than creating them in real-time, significantly reducing verification time while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Traditional mechanical verification methods (physical key exchanges, manual authentication) are replaced with automated biometric sensing, cryptographic validation, and algorithmic contextual analysis. This substitution enables rapid, non-contact verification that occurs in seconds rather than requiring physical presence or manual procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If dynamic statement generation is used, then verification accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification system dynamically generates contextual statements and challenges based on real-time transmission conditions, device states, and environmental factors. Rather than using static verification protocols, the system adapts verification parameters dynamically, creating unique verification instances for each data exchange event. This dynamic approach improves accuracy by preventing replay attacks while the central server manages the complexity of dynamic parameter generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Multifactor authentication of secure transmission of data, including, receiving, from a first computing device associated with a first user, identifying information associated with a second user; transmitting, based on the identifying information, a request for data; receiving the data from a second computing device associated with the second user; dynamically generating a textual statement, at least a portion of the textual statement based on at least a first portion of the data; receiving, via a first communication channel, a first communication that includes a media recording reciting the dynamically generated textual statement; receiving, via a second communication channel, a second communication indicating a second portion of the data; verifying, based on the first communication and the second communication, an authenticity of the second user; and transmitting the data to the first computing device in response to the verification.
