Peer-to-Peer Telemetry Evaluation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telemetry data evaluation systems rely on central servers, which pose security concerns due to the handling of confidential user data and high transaction costs associated with protecting this data from unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
A peer-to-peer network and application are used to evaluate telemetry data, allowing secure control of the evaluation process without a central instance, ensuring that only evaluation results are shared while keeping raw data confidential and preventing unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a central server is used to evaluate telemetry data, then the evaluation process can be centrally controlled and managed, but security concerns arise regarding handling of confidential user data and high transaction costs are incurred for protecting data from unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized evaluation system into distributed peer-to-peer nodes. Each participant runs local evaluating means that can independently evaluate telemetry data without requiring a central server. This segmentation eliminates the security vulnerability of centralizing confidential data while maintaining evaluation functionality through distributed architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a peer-to-peer network as an intermediary layer between data providers and evaluators. This intermediary enables direct peer-to-peer communication and evaluation without requiring participants to trust each other directly, solving the security problem by replacing trust-based centralization with protocol-based decentralized coordination.
2Reliability
If a central server manages confidential telemetry data, then evaluation can be performed, but high transaction costs are required to protect user data from unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the confidential telemetry data from the central server environment and keeps it locally at the participant's premises. Only non-confidential evaluation results are transmitted over the network. This extraction eliminates the need for expensive security measures to protect data in transit and storage, as the sensitive data never leaves the local environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs evaluation locally at each participant's premises before any data transmission occurs. By conducting the evaluation action preliminarily and keeping the data local, the system avoids the need for costly security infrastructure required for centralized data storage and transmission.
3Productivity
If raw telemetry data is transmitted to a central server, then evaluation can be performed, but there is a risk that data may be used for further applications beyond the intended purpose
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary evaluation results from the raw telemetry data and transmits only these results over the network. The confidential raw data remains locally at the participant's premises and is never transmitted. This extraction principle ensures that even if network transmission is intercepted, no sensitive raw data is exposed, eliminating the harm of unauthorized data usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements different quality requirements for different parts of the data flow: raw telemetry data maintains high confidentiality and is kept local, while evaluation results have lower confidentiality requirements and can be transmitted. This local quality differentiation allows evaluation capability while protecting against unauthorized data usage.
