Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blockchain consensus mechanisms, such as Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), consume significant energy and lack the necessary speed, reliability, and security required for efficient and secure transactions.
Innovation Solution
A communication scheme utilizing Simulated Quantum Entanglement (SQE) and a unique identification system with Virgin ID (Vid) and User ID (SQid) to verify user authenticity, combined with a quantum-proof encryption method called Proof of Entanglement (PoE), which uses a distributed network of servers and a specific key generation process to ensure secure and efficient transactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If Proof of Work (PoW) is used for consensus, then transaction security and authenticity are improved, but energy consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/computational PoW system with a quantum-entanglement-based verification system. Instead of using computational power to secure transactions, the system uses quantum entanglement between particles to create unbreakable security bonds, eliminating the need for energy-intensive mining operations while maintaining transaction authenticity and security
2Use of energy by moving object
If Proof of Stake (PoS) is used for consensus, then energy consumption is reduced, but transaction speed and reliability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the computational verification system with quantum-entanglement-based verification. Quantum entanglement enables instantaneous verification of transaction authenticity across the network without requiring substantial computational resources, thereby achieving both low energy consumption and high transaction speed simultaneously
3Reliability
If traditional encryption methods are used, then data protection is provided, but quantum computers can decrypt the data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mathematical encryption systems with quantum-entanglement-based encryption. This substitution creates encryption schemes that leverage quantum mechanical properties to achieve security guarantees that are theoretically unbreakable by quantum computers, as the security is based on physical laws rather than computational complexity
4Reliability
If more verification steps are added to ensure security, then transaction reliability is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces multiple sequential verification steps with quantum-entanglement-based verification that occurs simultaneously across the network. The quantum verification process inherently provides security through the physics of entanglement, eliminating the need for multiple sequential checks and thereby reducing processing time while maintaining or improving security

AI summary
What is being presented is Proof of Entanglement (PoE), an algorithmic interchange of information that removes the need for classical consensus when adding blocks to a blockchain through its inherent ability to entangle the source of a document (sender) to the consumer of the document (receiver). The presented method and algorithm will ensure that only the intended receiver can possibly receive and be able to decrypt the document. Furthermore, PoE will guarantee the authenticity and security of the document to a level of entropy that will take more computational energy than is available on Earth to decipher, using today's supercomputers. PoE will create a quantum link (shared encryption key) between the sender and receiver. This key is used for document encryption and decryption but is never sent from the sender to the receiver. It is generated by the platform's servers and link devices (LINK) for both the representative of the sender and the representative of the receiver. This encryption key is produced by data held in the LINK that provides secure data to their counterpart entangled node devices (NODE). These in turn create the actual block of the blockchain. FIG. 1 is the block diagram of the platform. It consists of the following servers, LINK, and NODE. The NODE and LINK are held by people and/or businesses that support the platform. The platform description will clarify some of the complexities associated with the model.
