Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cybersecurity measures are inadequate in detecting and deterring malware, particularly in social-technological networks, where attackers employ deception and sophisticated techniques, leading to increased cyber-attacks and compromised privacy.
Innovation Solution
A recommendation-verification system using digitally encrypted perishable objects is introduced, which generates and distributes these objects to cyber-physical entities, allowing for the detection of malicious digital products and deducting objects from entities found to be malicious, thereby initiating protocols to mitigate threats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional cybersecurity detection methods are used, then malware can be detected to some extent, but the detection precision and effectiveness are insufficient against sophisticated malware
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a recommendation-verification system that acts as an intermediary between malware detection and response. This system uses digitally encrypted perishable objects as a mediator to verify system integrity and detect malware presence, improving detection precision without requiring overly complex detection mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of verification by using digitally encrypted perishable objects with evolving verification values. Instead of static detection signatures, the verification parameters dynamically change, enabling detection of sophisticated malware that attempts to evade traditional signature-based detection
2Reliability
If more sophisticated detection techniques are deployed, then malware detection capability improves, but resource consumption and system overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automated verification processes where the digitally encrypted perishable objects automatically verify system integrity without requiring extensive manual intervention or high-resource continuous monitoring. The verification occurs periodically using lightweight computational operations
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of continuous full-system scanning, the system performs partial verification actions using digitally encrypted perishable objects that check specific critical system states. This partial action approach maintains security reliability while significantly reducing resource consumption compared to exhaustive detection methods
3Adaptability or versatility
If a recommendation-verification system with digitally encrypted perishable objects is implemented, then malware deterrence and detection improve, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The digitally encrypted perishable objects serve multiple functions: they act as verification tokens, integrity checks, and malware detection mechanisms simultaneously. This multi-functionality increases adaptability to different malware threats while managing system complexity by consolidating multiple security functions into a single versatile mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses digitally encrypted copies of verification data stored in the perishable objects rather than requiring complex real-time analysis of system states. These encrypted copies can be generated, distributed, and verified using standardized protocols, improving adaptability while reducing implementation complexity through replication of verification patterns
4Loss of information
If digitally encrypted perishable objects are distributed and used for verification, then transparency and scalability of security mechanism improve, but infrastructure requirements and deployment complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The recommendation-verification system implements feedback loops where verification results from digitally encrypted perishable objects are fed back into the system to update security states and trigger appropriate responses. This feedback mechanism enhances transparency by making verification outcomes visible and actionable while managing deployment complexity through automated feedback processing
Solution Approach 2:
Digitally encrypted perishable objects are generated and distributed in advance before malware threats materialize. This preliminary action allows the verification infrastructure to be established beforehand with standardized protocols, improving transparency of the security mechanism while reducing deployment complexity by avoiding ad-hoc configuration during threats

AI summary
An exemplary system method, and computer-accessible medium for initiating a protocol(s) can be provided, which can include, for example, generating a digitally encrypted perishable object(s), distributing the digitally encrypted perishable object(s) to a cyber-physical entity(s), determining if the cyber-physical entity(s) has received the digitally encrypted perishable object(s), and initiating at a predetermined protocol(s) based on the determination.
