Solution Overview

Problem

Current security measures for data storage and communication are vulnerable to interception and unauthorized decryption, lacking control over the distribution and use of encrypted data.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for point-to-point security using a processing device to create and manage private media packages with a regret management flag, rules set, and media objects, employing encryption and bit shifting with unique keys to ensure secure transmission and compliance with predefined rules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If encryption is used to secure data, then security level is improved, but unauthorized parties may still decrypt the data and control over distribution is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidunauthorized decryption and loss of distribution control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The encryption system is segmented into multiple layers: outer encryption with a first key and inner encryption with a second key. The media package is divided into encrypted components including metadata, rules set, and media objects, each protected by appropriate encryption layers. This segmentation ensures that even if one layer is compromised, the core data remains protected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Rules sets and controls are embedded into the media package structure before encryption and transmission. The regret management flag and distribution rules are pre-configured in the metadata, enabling automatic enforcement of distribution policies without requiring real-time intervention. This preliminary action ensures control is built-in rather than added later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If data is encrypted for security, then confidentiality is improved, but control over distribution and use of the data is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconfidentialityVSAvoidcontrol over distribution and use
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges encryption controls, rules sets, and media objects into a single integrated media package structure. The metadata contains both encryption parameters and distribution rules, combining security and control functions into one unified structure that can be transmitted and enforced as a complete unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms through the regret management flag and rules set enforcement. When a recipient attempts to access or distribute media, the system checks compliance with embedded rules and provides feedback by either allowing access or blocking distribution. This enables continuous control over data usage while maintaining encryption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple encryption keys are used, then security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dual-key encryption system is segmented into clear functional roles: the first key protects outer layers including initial encryption and structural metadata, while the second key protects inner layers including core media objects. This segmentation makes the complexity manageable by assigning specific protection responsibilities to each key rather than using a single complex key management system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method for encryption of a private media package by a first processing device which includes at least three key components of a regret management flag, a rules set, and a media object, encrypting with a first key the regret management flag, encrypting with the first key the rules set, encrypting with the first key the media object(s), obtaining a randomized result key, bit shifting the regret management flag from encrypting with the first key the management flag, via the randomized result key, bit shifting the rules set from encrypting with the first key the rules set, via the randomized key, bit shifting the media object(s) from encrypting with the first key the media object(s), via the randomized key, encrypting with a second key the regret management flag from encrypting and bit shifting the regret management flag, encrypting with the second key the rules set from encrypting and bit shifting the rules set, encrypting with the second key the media object(s) from encrypting and bit shifting the media object(s), storing as an encrypted package the regret management flag of the encrypting with the second key the regret management flag, the rules set of the encrypting with the second key the rules set, and the media object(s) of the encrypting with the second key the media object. Decryption is by reverse of the encryption process, and the resulting decrypted private media package may be used only in compliance with the rules set.
