Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If complicated procedures and checks are performed for cybersecurity operations, then security reliability is improved, but data communication speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining website reputation data in advance and storing it in a cache before actual cybersecurity operations are needed. When network traffic is intercepted, the system can quickly retrieve pre-determined reputation data from the cache rather than performing full security checks, thus maintaining security reliability while improving communication speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating targeted reputation data specifically for websites potentially accessed by connected devices based on their features. Instead of performing comprehensive security checks on all traffic, the system focuses security resources on relevant websites identified through device feature analysis, improving both efficiency and effectiveness.
2Reliability
If complicated procedures and checks are performed for cybersecurity operations, then security reliability is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines and caches website reputation data in advance before cybersecurity operations are required. This preliminary action allows the system to retrieve pre-evaluated reputation information during actual security operations, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining thorough security assessment reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates and stores copies of website reputation data in a cache system. Instead of repeatedly performing full security analysis procedures, the system uses cached copies of reputation assessments, reducing processing time while preserving the reliability of security determinations through the use of pre-analyzed data.
3Reliability
If comprehensive security checks are performed, then cybersecurity effectiveness is improved, but user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by analyzing specific features of connected devices (such as device type, operating system, installed applications) to identify websites relevant to each device. Security checks are then focused on these specifically identified websites rather than applying blanket checks to all traffic, maintaining cybersecurity effectiveness while reducing unnecessary processing that degrades user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of potentially accessed websites based on device features before security operations. By pre-identifying relevant targets and caching their reputation data, the system avoids performing comprehensive security checks on all traffic in real-time, thus maintaining security effectiveness while improving ease of operation and user experience.
Data Source
AI summary
One or more features of a connected device are determined. A set of websites potentially accessed by the connected device are defined based on the one or more features. Reputation data for the set of websites is determined. The reputation data for the set of websites is stored into a cache. Network traffic between the connected device and an accessed website is intercepted. Reputation data for the accessed website is retrieved from the cache based on the network traffic. A cybersecurity operation related to the connected device is performed based on the reputation data for the accessed website.
