Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If encryption and encoding schemes are used to protect data, then data security is improved, but the system becomes vulnerable to technological advancements that can eventually overcome these schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into multiple fragments and distributes them across different locations. Each fragment alone is insufficient to reconstruct the original data, providing security without relying on encryption schemes that can be broken. This is achieved through data sharding and distributed storage mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system that uses cryptographic proof mechanisms to verify data integrity and authenticity without exposing the actual data content. This allows security verification through mathematical proofs rather than traditional encryption/decryption processes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multi-port access is implemented for multiple medical professionals and requestors, then system versatility is improved, but data integrity and confidentiality protection becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality control by assigning different access permissions and verification requirements to different ports and users based on their specific needs and roles. Each access point has customized security parameters and verification mechanisms tailored to its specific function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where each access attempt generates verification proofs that are checked against predefined policies. The system continuously monitors and adjusts access control based on verified data integrity and confidentiality requirements for each specific access scenario.
3Reliability
If traditional encryption systems are used, then data protection is improved, but system complexity increases and eventual decryption becomes inevitable as technology advances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical encryption/decryption system with a mathematical proof-based verification system. Instead of using complex cryptographic algorithms that require key management and computational overhead, the system uses cryptographic signatures and proof mechanisms that are computationally simpler and provide equivalent or superior security guarantees.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and method for a secure transaction and communication network between a multitude of enrolled enterprises and customers. An enrollment database outputs an authenticated identity to an encounter database that generates an encounter number that it outputs to an enrolled establishment for generating a transaction order to a transaction database. A transmission server assigns serial numbers to encrypt each transmission. Serial number A from the enrollment server is tagged to the identity information and serial B from the transaction database is tagged to the data information and each is sent separately to both the supplier and the encounter server. The encounter server matches Serial A and B to create the first rule data set that the supplier uses to match the order data to the identity records to complete the secure transmission of the de-identified transaction information and arrange for it's re-identification at the supplier's location.
