SECURITY SYSTEMS, METHODS, STORAGE MEDIUM FOR INCREASING SECURITY OF DEVICES UTILIZING A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267407 titled 'SECURITY SYSTEMS, METHODS, STORAGE MEDIUM FOR INCREASING SECURITY OF DEVICES UTILIZING A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

The abstract describes a security system that enhances the security of a device by utilizing a communication channel and a majority vote input mechanism.

  • The security system receives data from a communication source through a first communication channel.
  • The data is replicated by a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
  • One of the non-empty subsets of IoT devices is randomly activated.
  • A majority vote input is selected based on the replicated data from the randomly activated subset.
  • The majority vote input is transmitted to a communication destination through a second communication channel.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing security for devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). - Implementing a secure communication system for sensitive data transmission. - Providing a reliable method for data replication and verification.

Problems Solved: - Ensuring secure communication channels for IoT devices. - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. - Enhancing data integrity and reliability.

Benefits: - Improved security measures for connected devices. - Efficient data replication and verification process. - Enhanced protection against cyber threats.

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure IoT Communication System This technology can be used in industries such as: - Healthcare for secure transmission of patient data. - Finance for protecting financial transactions. - Smart home devices for ensuring privacy and security.

Prior Art: Research on secure communication protocols for IoT devices. Studies on data replication and verification methods in distributed systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing developments in IoT security protocols. Advancements in data replication technologies for connected devices.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the majority vote input mechanism enhance security in the communication system? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this security system for IoT devices?


Original Abstract Submitted

a security system for enhancing security of a device utilizing a communication channel includes one or more processors and a storage including instructions stored thereon. when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the security system to receive, by a plurality of internet of thing (iot) devices, data from a communication source through a first communication channel, replicate, by the plurality of iot devices, the received data, randomly activate one of non-empty subsets of the plurality of iot devices, select a majority vote input based on the replicated data from the randomly activated subset of the plurality of iot devices; and transmit the majority vote input to a communication destination through a second communication channel, which is different from the first communication channel.
