Neural Blockchain Identity Verification Energy Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current blockchain protocols are energy-intensive and lack secure user identity validation, leading to security issues and inefficiencies in data sharing and storage, especially when involving physical objects in the Internet of Things (IoT).
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system using a 'neural blockchain' with bijective digital identities, authentication means that generate unique authentication codes, and certificatory entities to validate user identities, ensuring secure data storage and transfer by recording digital addresses of repositories rather than the data itself, allowing only authorized users access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blockchain protocols use cryptographic verification by all nodes, then security and integrity of transactions are ensured, but energy consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the verification function from storage function. Only certificatory entities verify and authenticate digital identities, while other nodes store only digital addresses without performing verification, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces certificatory entities as intermediaries that perform authentication and verification. These specialized entities handle the computationally intensive cryptographic verification, while other network nodes only perform lightweight storage and address verification
2Loss of information
If blockchain records all transaction information in blocks, then complete audit trail and transparency are achieved, but data storage requirements and network bandwidth increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the actual transaction data from the blockchain structure. Only digital addresses (hashes) are recorded in the blockchain, while complete transaction information is stored externally in digital repositories, reducing blockchain storage requirements while maintaining information accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent moves transaction data storage from the one-dimensional blockchain structure to external multi-dimensional digital repositories. The blockchain maintains only reference pointers (digital addresses), creating a hierarchical storage architecture that optimizes both verification efficiency and storage capacity
3Ease of operation
If blockchain allows anonymous participation without identity certification, then accessibility and decentralization are improved, but security and trustworthiness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary identity certification through certificatory entities before nodes can participate in verification. Digital identities are authenticated in advance, ensuring that only verified entities can perform verification functions, thereby maintaining both accessibility and security
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses digital identity certificates as verifiable copies of user identities. These cryptographic certificates serve as trusted representations of user identity, allowing verification without exposing sensitive personal information while maintaining accountability
