Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video transmission methods lack sufficient security measures, particularly for high-security video data, as bit encryption technologies have low encryption levels, leaving a risk of data divulgence during transmission.

Innovation Solution

A video transmission method that encrypts video streams block by block using encryption keys generated from previous block digests, with random numbers for initial blocks, and decrypts correspondingly, ensuring secure transmission by matching encrypted data with cached timing signals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bit encryption technology is used for video transmission, then transmission security is improved, but encryption level remains low and data divulgence risk persists

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission securityVSAvoiddata divulgence risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The video stream is divided into multiple blocks, and each block is encrypted independently using a unique encryption key. This segmentation approach ensures that even if one block is compromised, the security of other blocks remains intact, thereby reducing the overall data divulgence risk while maintaining transmission security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Encryption keys are generated in advance using a secure key generation algorithm that incorporates previous block digests. This preliminary key generation ensures that each block is protected by a strong, pre-computed key before transmission, addressing the low encryption level issue while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If block-based encryption with key generation from previous block digests is implemented, then encryption security is enhanced, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencryption securityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates encryption keys autonomously using a deterministic algorithm that derives each key from the previous block's digest. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for external key distribution infrastructure, enhancing encryption security while managing computational complexity through efficient hash-based key derivation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The encryption process maintains continuous operation by generating each block's key from the previous block's digest, creating an unbroken chain of encrypted blocks. This continuous encryption approach ensures high security while optimizing computational efficiency through streamlined key derivation operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Reliability

If video data is cached and monitored before encryption, then transmission control is improved, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission controlVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Video blocks are cached and monitored in advance before encryption to ensure data readiness and integrity. This preliminary caching action allows the system to control the transmission process effectively while minimizing delays by preparing data ahead of time for immediate encryption and transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
