A data encryption method for cloud server systems that computes an encryption length and segments primary data into segments using an encrypted matrix, ensuring the dimension of the matrix satisfies specific conditions to control data inflation and store encrypted segments across multiple data storage centers, maintaining a tolerance range for inflation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is encrypted to prevent theft, then security is improved, but data size increases requiring more storage space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the original data into multiple data segments before encryption. Each segment is encrypted separately using an encrypted matrix, allowing the system to manage and store encrypted data in a segmented manner that reduces overall storage requirements while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the encryption parameters by using an encrypted matrix with specific dimensional constraints (n×n where n≤r and n×n≤d) and applying modular arithmetic operations. This parameter optimization controls the expansion ratio of encrypted data, ensuring that the encrypted data size remains within acceptable limits while still providing adequate security protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If encryption matrix dimension is increased to improve security, then encryption strength is improved, but data inflation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencryption strengthVSAvoiddata inflation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes specific parameter relationships for the encryption matrix dimension n, requiring that n≤r (where r is the number of data segments) and n×n≤d (where d is the data basis). These parameter constraints ensure that the matrix dimension is optimized to provide sufficient encryption strength while minimizing data inflation during the encryption process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a partial encryption approach where not all data bits are encrypted using the full matrix capacity. Instead, the encryption is applied to data segments with controlled matrix dimensions that provide adequate security without excessive encryption overhead, achieving a balance between security and data size management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
