Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current SIM technologies, particularly eSIMs, expose users to sophisticated cyber threats due to limited protection against online threats like phishing and malware, lack of end-to-end encryption, and insufficient privacy controls, leaving users vulnerable to data interception and manipulation during internet transmission.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a secure SIM networking service with an intermediary system that includes a security service platform, PoPs, and VPN infrastructure to enhance privacy and security by providing comprehensive encryption, flexible routing options, and DNS-based threat protection, ensuring secure communication from the device to the target destination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional SIM technology is used for wireless communication, then device connectivity is achieved, but security against cyber threats is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidvulnerability to cyber threats

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a security service platform as an intermediary between the SIM card and the network. This platform includes a security module that intercepts and processes communication data, applying security policies, filtering threats, and managing security keys. The intermediary security infrastructure protects the SIM card from direct exposure to network threats while maintaining communication functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If eSIM technology is implemented for remote provisioning, then device flexibility is improved, but exposure to phishing and malware threats increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveremote provisioning capabilityVSAvoidexposure to phishing and malware

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The security service platform performs preliminary security assessments and validations before allowing eSIM provisioning operations. The security module pre-configures protection mechanisms, validates the authenticity of provisioning requests, and establishes secure channels before sensitive operations occur, preventing phishing and malware attacks in advance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If SIM cards store security keys locally, then authentication capability is maintained, but end-to-end encryption protection is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication capabilityVSAvoiddata interception during transmission

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the security functionality into separate components: the SIM card retains authentication keys, while the security service platform handles encryption and decryption operations. This segmentation allows authentication to occur at the SIM level while end-to-end encryption is applied by the platform, protecting data during transmission between the device and network.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of operation

If basic SIM networking service is provided, then communication functionality is achieved, but privacy controls are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidprivacy exposure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The security service platform implements feedback mechanisms that monitor communication patterns, detect privacy violations, and adjust security policies dynamically. The system provides users with visibility into their communication data and allows them to control privacy settings, creating a feedback loop that enhances privacy protection while maintaining ease of use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An intermediary system between an access network and a target may receive a communication originating from a client and directed to the target. The intermediary system may generate, based a subscriber identification module (SIM) security service, a secure communication. The intermediary system may provide the secure communication to the target.
