Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If peer-to-peer wireless communications are implemented without authentication mechanisms, then device connectivity and communication speed are improved, but security and reliability of asset transfers deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a verifying node as an intermediary component that sits between the user device and recipient device. This verifying node performs authentication of the transfer request and issues transfer authorization tokens, thereby mediating the communication to ensure security without blocking the peer-to-peer connection. The intermediary handles security functions while allowing direct device-to-device communication to remain fast and efficient.
2Reliability
If authentication mechanisms are added to peer-to-peer wireless communications, then security and reliability of asset transfers are improved, but device complexity and system overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication and verification functions from the peer-to-peer devices and places them in a separate verifying node. This extraction reduces the complexity burden on the user device and recipient device, as they only need to handle basic transfer requests and authorization tokens respectively, while the verifying node handles the complex authentication logic centrally.
Solution Approach 2:
The verifying node acts as an intermediary that centralizes authentication logic, allowing the peer-to-peer devices to maintain simplicity in their implementation. The intermediary handles the complex cryptographic operations and verification processes, thereby reducing the complexity burden on individual devices while maintaining high security standards.
3Reliability
If transfer authorization tokens are generated and validated for each transaction, then security and integrity of asset transfers are improved, but processing time and transaction speed decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The verifying node performs authentication and generates transfer authorization tokens in advance before the actual asset transfer occurs. This preliminary action ensures that security checks are completed before the transaction begins, and the token can be quickly validated during the transfer process, reducing overall processing time while maintaining integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses transfer authorization tokens as cryptographic copies that encapsulate the authentication results. These tokens can be quickly validated without repeating the full authentication process, allowing fast transaction processing. The token serves as a condensed version of the authentication verification that can be rapidly checked during subsequent transfer operations.
