Solution Overview

Problem

The World Wide Web exposes information to unauthorized access, particularly through 'robots' using trial and error methods, and lacks effective security measures for real-time data access, especially in open access scenarios where traditional controls like user registration and passwords are insufficient.

Innovation Solution

The Net2Core Server Application Design Framework separates the server system into 'Net System' and 'Core System' with an interconnection database, ensuring secure communication and synchronization, and employs 'noindex' and 'nofollow' parameters to prevent search engine indexing, while allowing real-time data access through a centralized database isolated from the server environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If information is exposed to the World Wide Web for open access, then accessibility and real-time information availability are improved, but security and protection from unauthorized access deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidunauthorized access
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The server system is divided into two distinct parts: the Net System (facing the Web) and the Core System (handling sensitive operations). This segmentation isolates the critical information processing from direct Web exposure, allowing open access while maintaining security boundaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary mechanism is introduced between the Net System and Core System, using standardized communication protocols and controlled interfaces. This intermediary layer filters and validates all requests, preventing direct unauthorized access to the Core System while maintaining accessibility through the Net System.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional access controls like user registration and passwords are implemented, then security is improved, but open access capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidopen access capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic access control where the Net System can adapt to different request types and users without requiring traditional authentication. Access control rules are dynamically applied based on the nature of the request and the sensitivity of the target resource, rather than static user credentials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The Core System is designed to be self-protecting through inherent security mechanisms that do not rely on user authentication. The system automatically validates requests, enforces access policies, and protects sensitive operations without requiring users to provide credentials, thus maintaining both security and open access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the server system is exposed to the World Wide Web for information processing, then real-time information availability is improved, but vulnerability to robot attacks and trial-and-error access methods deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time information availabilityVSAvoidrobot attacks
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The critical information processing functions are extracted from the Web-facing Net System and placed in the isolated Core System. This extraction removes the vulnerable real-time data processing from direct Web exposure, eliminating the target for robot attacks while maintaining real-time information availability through controlled interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system converts the potential harm of Web exposure into a benefit by using the Net System as a controlled gateway. The Net System absorbs and filters malicious traffic, protecting the Core System while still enabling legitimate real-time information access. Harmful requests are identified and blocked at the Net System layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

4Reliability

If information is stored in a centralized database accessible by the server, then real-time access is improved, but direct exposure to unauthorized access deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time accessVSAvoiddirect information exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a dimensional separation between data storage and data access. The centralized database exists in a protected dimension (Core System) that is not directly accessible from the Web dimension (Net System). Real-time access is achieved through controlled data flow across this dimensional boundary, preventing direct exposure while maintaining accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

Net2Core is a Server Application Design Framework that provides inherent security for information due to its tri-partite structure. The Net2Core Server Application Design Framework consists of a Server process (the “Net Process”) that is accessible by a Client; a Server process that is responsible for all Application information processing (the “Core Process”) which is inaccessible directly by a Client; and a Storage medium to pass requests to the “Core Process” from the “Net Process” and to pass results provided by the “Core Process” to the “Net Process”. Additional to the request/response interaction of the “Net Process” to/from the “Core Process” through the Storage, there is also direct communication from the “Net Process” to signal the “Core Process” of the need for operation and from the “Core Process” to the “Net Process” to signal “Core Process” completion. All communications are synchronised so that the Net2Core Server Application Design Framework can provide the Design Framework for any Server Application in a typical Client/Server environment.
