1Reliability

If traditional encryption methods using certificates and algorithms are used, then encryption can be implemented, but the encryption can be hacked and broken

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional algorithm-based encryption mechanisms with quantum mechanical entanglement phenomena. Instead of relying on computational complexity and cryptographic algorithms, the system uses the fundamental quantum property where measurement of one entangled particle instantaneously determines the state of its partner, creating encryption that is physically unbreakable rather than computationally secure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent fundamentally changes the parameter basis of encryption from logical/mathematical parameters (algorithms, keys, certificates) to physical quantum parameters (particle entanglement states, measurement outcomes). This parameter transformation moves encryption from the domain of computational security to quantum physical security, where the laws of physics guarantee security rather than mathematical assumptions.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes the logical-handshake mechanism (exchanging certificates and keys through multiple steps) with a direct quantum entanglement correlation. The entangled particles inherently establish a secure connection without requiring iterative verification steps, replacing complex logical protocols with a fundamental quantum correlation that automatically ensures security.

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for end to end encryption on a network without using certificates. The system utilizes a correlation between two quantum particles that are entangled. In this way, data may be encrypted with the particles and transmitted to end users. Since the particles are forced to behave the same way even if they are separated, the data associated with the particles is not able to be breached. In the application encryption processing, that means the particles are not hackable and the encryption is always true and accurate. In this way, verification of application encryption occurs via particle measurement by leveraging the fact that that there is only one sender and one receiver, because they are of the same particle computation or physical end-point, instead of current encryption relying on logical end-points.
