Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional encryption algorithms are used, then current security requirements are met, but they become vulnerable to quantum computer attacks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the cryptographic parameters from traditional algorithms to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to quantum computer attacks. This involves transitioning to new mathematical problems and algorithms that remain secure even against quantum computing threats, directly addressing the vulnerability to quantum attacks while maintaining security reliability.
2Reliability
If quantum-resistant encryption is implemented, then security against quantum attacks is improved, but computational overhead and performance may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements quantum-resistant encryption selectively for data that requires long-term security protection, rather than applying it universally to all data. This partial application approach allows the system to achieve quantum-resistant security for critical data while avoiding the performance overhead for data that does not require such high security, thus balancing security requirements with computational efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive encryption services are provided to multiple edge devices, then security coverage is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a unified encryption management system that provides multiple encryption services (key management, secure communication, security auditing, monitoring) through a single integrated platform. This universal system serves multiple edge devices and storage systems simultaneously, reducing overall system complexity compared to implementing separate encryption solutions for each device or function.
