The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and computing platforms for data communication.
Moore's law predicted that the number of transistors on a computer chip would double every two years while the chip's price would remain constant. “Moore's law” meant consumers could buy better technology two years later for about the same price. Fifty years later, Moore's law prediction has endured to the idea that technology companies have recognized Moore's law as a benchmark they must meet, or fall behind in the market. Patrons have come to expect technological products to be faster, cheaper, and more compact over time. This expectation seems to have driven trends of rapid growth in computing power, smaller devices, the ability to connect to the Internet, and reduction in cost and big data.
Technology and digital infrastructure are woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. More than just smartphones or personal computer, operations technology is the infrastructure that purifies water, supplies power, heat and cooling, runs the supply chain that supports consumers. Cyberattacks reports of both attempted and successful digital attacks on critical infrastructure, both in the government and private sector are increasing. There have been reports of isolated cases of targeted systems being impacted. Nonetheless, functionality in these systems could be degraded by cyberattacks that cause system wide damage to government networks and others. There is a need to respond with a technological solution.
In light of the foregoing background, the following presents a simplified summary of the present disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosure. This summary is not an extensive overview of the disclosure. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the disclosure or to delineate the scope of the disclosure. The following summary merely presents some concepts of the disclosure in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description provided below.
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system configured for data communication. The system may include one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions. The processor(s) may be configured to electronically receive a first digital record data payload including a first originating node attribute, a flash code identifier attribute and at least one data element associated with a computer readable record. The processor(s) may be configured to electronically receive a second digital record data payload including a second originating node attribute, and at least one data element associated with a computer readable record. The processor(s) may be configured to electronically process the first digital record data payload and the second digital record data payload to determine which of the first digital record data payload or the second digital record data payload includes the flash code identifier attribute to determine a designation network location. The processor(s) may be configured to electronically transmit the first digital record data payload associated with the flash code identifier attribute to the designation network location, while disallowing transmitting of the second digital record data payload.
In some implementations of the system and method, the processor(s) may be configured to process the first digital record data payload with a prioritization index data element. In some implementations of the system and method, the processor(s) may be configured to electronically process the first digital record data payload and the second digital record data payload to determine which of the first digital record data payload or the second digital record data payload includes the flash code identifier attribute and the prioritization index data element to determine the designation network location. In some implementations of the system and method, the processor(s) may be configured to create a virtual data payload associated with the computer readable record of the first digital record data payload. In some implementations of the system and method, the processor(s) may be configured to electronically process the first digital record data payload includes responsive to a threshold value of the prioritization data element, proceed to transmit the first digital record data payload to the designation network location. In some implementations of the system and method, the processor(s) may be configured to electronically process the first digital record data payload includes sampling a value of the prioritization data element responsive the value being lower than a predetermined threshold value of the prioritization data element, disallowing transmission of the first digital record data payload to the designation network location.

FCI data element 317 pertains precedence data traffic such as electronic stored valued transactions and halting all others without the FCI data element 327. The system 300 in conjunction with data switch 900 can halt all other electronic transfers between non top-tier entities, by closing the circuits, until the appropriate network control center authorities provide the clearance to re-open.
Module 310 provides for processing of Prioritization Index data element 323. Prioritization Index data element 323 pertains to various levels of when data can be sent through the networks. For example, prioritization index 323 may be a numerical spectrum for indication of a predetermined level of priority of the data set. In still one example, a numerical ranking of 4 being high priority; a numerical ranking of 3 being moderate priority, a numerical ranking of 2 being low priority and a numerical ranking of 1 being no priority. In one way, the (FCI) data element 317 may be considered an injectable data super priority tag to allow this data to reach its intended designation network. In the EDI format and payload, the computer readable database 316 may include the “attribute data” including ASCII characters in computer readable form or binary complied data. The ASCII characters or binary data can be manipulated in the software of system 300.
