Solution Overview

Problem

The transmission of event processing requests across firewalls is susceptible to interception by malicious actors, necessitating improved security mechanisms to protect against such threats.

Innovation Solution

A computing platform generates and processes three-dimensional representations of event requests using reflectance transformation imaging (RTI), applying unique surface phenomena signatures, and communicates transformation information to recipient devices to produce validated representations without transmitting the full representation, enabling secure event processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If three dimensional representations are transmitted across firewalls for event processing, then event processing can occur between parties, but the transmission becomes susceptible to interception by malicious actors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent processing capabilityVSAvoidinterception vulnerability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the three-dimensional representation into two separate components: a first three-dimensional representation generated by the initiating user device and a second three-dimensional representation generated by the recipient user device. These segments are processed separately and never transmitted in their complete forms, eliminating the interception vulnerability while maintaining event processing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces RTI transformation information as an intermediary element that enables the recipient user device to generate its own three-dimensional representation without receiving the actual representation data. This intermediary mechanism allows secure event processing by mediating between the initiator and recipient without exposing sensitive three-dimensional data to transmission risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If RTI transformation information is sent instead of three dimensional representations, then security is improved by preventing interception, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity against interceptionVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses RTI transformation information as a copy or blueprint that enables the recipient user device to create its own three-dimensional representation locally. Instead of transmitting the actual three-dimensional data, the system transmits transformation instructions that allow the recipient to generate an identical representation, thereby improving security while managing complexity through standardized transformation protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If the complete three dimensional representation is validated through combination of first and second representations, then security validation is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalidation accuracyVSAvoidvalidation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs partial validation by combining only the critical first and second three-dimensional representations to generate a complete representation for verification. Rather than validating every possible aspect of the event processing, the system focuses on the essential validation of the three-dimensional representation combination, thereby achieving sufficient security validation while minimizing processing time and computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computing platform may receive, from an initiating user device, an event processing request. The computing platform may generate, using RTI, a first 3D representation of the event processing request. The computing platform may send, to a recipient user device, RTI transformation information indicating transformation actions to be performed, using RTI, to produce a second 3D representation of the event processing request. The computing platform may generate, using the first 3D representation and the second 3D representation, a complete 3D representation. The computing platform identify whether the complete 3D representation is validated. Based on identifying that the complete 3D representation is validated, process the event processing request.
