Secure Data Transfer Tunnels via Protocol Mediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data transfer techniques are inefficient for secure and fast transfer of large data streams, as standard internet protocols are not optimized and often require proprietary protocols that may not be compatible with all systems, limiting the effectiveness of data transfer.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing a cloud-based computer system with ingress and egress systems, a tunnel routing service, and a mapping service to establish secure data transfer tunnels, reducing the network pathway outside the tunnel and increasing the efficiency of data transfer by using proprietary protocols for a larger portion of the network pathway.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If standard internet protocols are used for data transfer, then compatibility with all systems is maintained, but data transfer speed and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces proprietary protocol servers as intermediary components between client systems and remote systems. These servers translate standard internet protocols into optimized proprietary protocols for data transfer, allowing client systems to maintain compatibility while achieving high-speed transfer through the tunnel connection. The intermediary servers handle protocol conversion and optimization without requiring changes to the client or remote system software.
2Speed
If proprietary protocols are used to accelerate data transfer, then data transfer speed is improved, but compatibility with all systems deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The proprietary protocol servers act as mediators that accept connections using standard protocols from client systems and automatically translate these into optimized proprietary protocol communications for the tunnel connection. This allows the system to achieve high-speed proprietary protocol transfer while maintaining universal compatibility at the client interface level.
3Device complexity
If a large portion of network pathway is outside the tunnel, then system complexity is reduced, but data transfer efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network pathway is segmented into distinct zones: a simplified external portion using standard protocols for access, and an optimized internal tunnel portion using proprietary protocols for high-speed transfer. The tunnel encapsulates the complex proprietary protocol segment, isolating it from the simpler external network infrastructure. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized independently for its specific function.
