Secure Geo-Location Obscurity Network Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anonymous communication systems, such as Tor, face issues like data leakage, lack of user control over routing nodes, security threats, and limitations to certain communication protocols, which hinder true anonymity on the Internet.
Innovation Solution
A secure geo-location obscurity network (SGLON) is implemented, utilizing a series of transit nodes to randomly relay and route communications, mixing private and public data streams using steganographic techniques, and employing a double tunnel technique to hide the true origin of data streams, ensuring confidentiality through traffic shaping and dynamic provisioning of tunnel circuits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traffic is routed through public networks for anonymity, then user location privacy is improved, but bandwidth capacity and transmission speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The network is segmented into public and private portions. The private portion provides high-bandwidth pathways for bandwidth-intensive applications while the public portion handles low-bandwidth traffic. This segmentation allows the system to maintain anonymity through public network routing while preserving high bandwidth capacity through dedicated private pathways.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds a spatial dimension to traffic routing by creating multiple parallel pathways (public and private portions) through the network. Instead of forcing all traffic through a single public pathway, the system provides dimensional diversity in routing options, allowing high-bandwidth traffic to utilize private pathways while maintaining anonymity where applicable.
2Speed
If high bandwidth is allocated to public pathways for better performance, then transmission speed is improved, but user anonymity and security deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Different quality levels are assigned to different portions of the network. The private portion provides high-bandwidth, high-speed pathways for performance-critical traffic, while the public portion provides anonymity for traffic where location privacy is the priority. This local differentiation of quality allows the system to optimize for different requirements in different network regions.
3Stability of the object's composition
If fixed tunnel circuits are established for secure communication, then connection stability is improved, but network adaptability and dynamic provisioning deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The tunnel circuit provisioning system is made dynamic rather than fixed. The system can dynamically establish, modify, and tear down tunnel circuits based on current network conditions, user needs, and security requirements. This dynamic approach maintains connection stability when needed while providing adaptability to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms to monitor network conditions, traffic patterns, and security threats. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts tunnel circuit provisioning, establishing new circuits when threats are detected or when performance degradation occurs, thereby maintaining both stability and adaptability.
