Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Computing systems face challenges in securely transferring data due to air-gapped configurations and unstable network connections in remote environments, leading to vulnerabilities and data corruption.
Innovation Solution
Salting binaries using prime number compression (HRPNC) to generate salted variants, applying a salt value to binary objects, and performing HRPNC on these variants to create compressed and easily readable data strings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data is transferred through temporary network connections to dedicated servers, then data can be loaded to air-gapped systems, but security is compromised and vulnerabilities are exposed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a dedicated server as an intermediary that receives compressed data representations from external systems and transfers them to air-gapped systems through controlled physical media exchange. This mediator enables data transfer without requiring direct network connections, maintaining security while achieving operational capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates compressed data representations (copies) of the original data that can be efficiently transmitted and then reconstructed at the destination. This copying approach reduces the complexity of secure transfer by working with smaller, manageable data sets that can be securely moved via physical media.
2Quantity of substance
If long binary strings are used in air-gapped environments, then data can be transferred, but it is difficult for users to remember, write, or read and correctly enter
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms binary data into a different representation format using prime number factorization and word mapping. This parameter change converts unreadable binary strings into human-readable text that maintains full data capacity while dramatically improving ease of manual entry and verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual binary data entry (mechanical process) with automated prime number decomposition and word conversion. This substitution eliminates the need for users to manually handle complex binary strings while preserving the ability to transfer equivalent data quantities.
3Quantity of substance
If large amounts of data are transferred over slow and unstable network connections, then data can reach remote environments, but transfer time increases and data corruption likelihood increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides large data sets into smaller manageable units that can be independently compressed and transferred. This segmentation reduces the risk of complete data loss from connection failures and allows for more reliable transmission over unstable networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies prime number-based compression to reduce data volume before transmission. This parameter change in data representation dramatically reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over slow connections, thereby reducing transfer time and exposure to corruption risks.
4Quantity of substance
If data compression is applied to reduce transfer size, then data transfer efficiency improves, but compression time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses prime number factorization and word mapping to create a compression scheme that achieves high compression ratios for binary data. While computationally intensive, this parameter change approach provides superior compression compared to traditional methods, justifying the computational overhead for scenarios where transfer size is critical.

AI summary
Salting binaries for human readable prime number compression (HRPNC), including: detecting, during HRPNC of a binary object, that a time threshold has been reached; generating, in response to the time threshold being reached, one or more salted variants of the binary object by applying, to the binary object, a corresponding salt value; performing HRPNC on each of the one or more salted variants of the binary object; and providing a compressed salted variant.
