Triple Format Preserving Encryption for Data Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional encryption methods are inadequate for ensuring the security and compatibility of electronic data during transmission and storage, as they often alter the data format, making the encrypted data incompatible with existing systems and susceptible to tampering.
Innovation Solution
A triple format preserving encryption system that uses multi-level compounded encryption with sequentially generated encryption keys to preserve the native data format, ensuring compatibility and security by transforming data through encryption and decryption operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional encryption methods are used, then data security is improved, but data format compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the encryption approach to change from conventional format-altering encryption to format-preserving encryption. The system transforms data using encryption keys that maintain the original data format and structure, thereby changing the encryption parameters to resolve the contradiction between security and compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a encryption system that serves multiple functions: it provides data security encryption while simultaneously maintaining data format compatibility. The format-preserving encryption mechanism allows the same encryption process to work with existing systems without requiring format conversion, achieving multi-functionality
2Reliability
If conventional encryption methods are used, then data protection is improved, but system compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the encryption parameters to use format-preserving encryption techniques. By adjusting the encryption methodology to maintain original data formats and structures, the system achieves both data protection and compatibility with existing systems, resolving the contradiction between protection and compatibility
3Reliability
If data format is changed during encryption, then encryption security is improved, but data usability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the encryption process to preserve data format parameters. Instead of changing data format during encryption, the system uses encryption keys and algorithms that maintain the original format, thereby ensuring both security and usability without requiring format conversion

AI summary
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for triple format preserving encryption for activity data transmissions. In particular the invention provides a secure platform for transmission and storage of data based on multi-level compounded encryption while preserving native data format post-encryption to allow compatibility of post-encryption data with existing systems. In particular, the invention is configured for generating a plurality of encryption keys such that each of the encryption keys are structured to preserve pre-encryption data format, post-encryption. The invention is further configured for sequentially compounding encryption of native format data using the plurality of encryption keys.
