Solution Overview
Problem
Current symmetric data encryption methods lack a robust and novel approach to encrypt data streams, as they rely on predictable encryption techniques that can be easily compromised.
Innovation Solution
A symmetric data encryption system utilizing light interference, where distinct wavelengths of light interact with a distortion-inducing amplitude to produce cumulative light values, which are then sensed and transmitted as an encrypted signal, with the distortion effect being unpredictable and reversible between encoder and decoder.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional symmetric encryption methods are used, then the encryption process is simple and easy to implement, but the security is weak and predictable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical/electronic encryption systems with an optical system using light interference. Light sources emit distinct wavelengths that interfere with each other to produce cumulative light values, which are then sensed and transmitted as encrypted signals. This optical approach provides enhanced security through unpredictable interference patterns while maintaining system feasibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the encryption system by using multiple wavelengths of light with different amplitudes. The distortion-inducing amplitude varies per wavelength, creating unique interference patterns. This parameter diversity makes the encryption unpredictable and secure, as the same data will produce different encrypted signals based on the specific wavelength-amplitude combinations used.
2Reliability
If light interference is used for encryption, then the encryption becomes robust and unpredictable, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the encryption process into distinct functional components: light sources that emit specific wavelengths, a distortion-inducing element that modifies amplitude, and light sensors that detect cumulative values. Each component handles a specific aspect of the encryption, making the overall complex system manageable through modular design while maintaining robust security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces light as an intermediary medium between the data source and the transmission channel. The light waves carry encrypted information through their interference patterns, acting as a mediator that transforms digital data into optical signals. This intermediary approach enables robust encryption while the light properties (wavelength, amplitude, interference) provide the necessary complexity for security.

Data Source
AI summary
A symmetric data encryption system configured to receive a data stream to be encoded; to relate segments of the data stream with a predetermined distortion-inducing amplitude of light to encrypt the data stream; to transmit the data stream; to decrypt the data stream by compensating for the value induced by the distortion-inducing amplitude of light; wherein the distortion-inducing amplitude of light relates to different wavelengths of light emitted by one or more of a plurality of light sources in a non-uniform manner so the effect of the distortion-inducing amplitude of light is difficult to predict, thereby providing obfuscation and encryption of the data stream.
