Securable Electronic Document Container for Secure Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic document technologies lack a secure, independent container that can securely handle and transfer both graphical image and character text data, particularly in industries like insurance and bail bonding, where security, independence from third-party involvement, and interoperability are critical, and existing solutions often compromise on security or require external party involvement.
Innovation Solution
A securable independent electronic document container that combines XML and digital signature technologies with graphical image containers, enabling secure, tamper-evident, and verifiable storage and transfer of both graphical and character data, allowing for complete control and automation within a closed system, independent of external vendors and platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing electronic document technologies are used, then document handling can be performed, but security and independence from third-party involvement are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple security mechanisms (digital signatures, encryption, checksums) and data formats (XML, graphical images) into a single unified electronic document container. This merging allows the document to achieve high security and independence without requiring multiple separate systems or third-party intermediaries, resolving the contradiction between reliability and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic document uses a composite structure combining different data types (character text in XML, graphical image data, security features) into a single container. This composite approach enables the document to simultaneously provide security, independence, and interoperability by leveraging the strengths of each component format within a unified structure.
2Reliability
If secure electronic document containers are implemented, then security is improved, but interoperability and ease of operation may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic document container is designed to be universal and multi-functional, supporting multiple data formats (XML, images, audio, video), various security mechanisms (digital signatures, encryption), and different delivery methods (email, web, physical media). This universality allows the secure container to operate across different platforms and systems without compromising interoperability, resolving the contradiction between security and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If both graphical image and character text data are secured in a unified container, then data integrity is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electronic document into distinct components (XML character data section, graphical image data section, security features) while maintaining them in a unified container. Each segment can be independently processed, validated, and secured using appropriate methods, which reduces overall system complexity while maintaining data integrity for all data types.
