Abstract
A device implemented, carrier independent packet delivery universal addressing networking protocol for communication over a network between network nodes utilizing a packet. The protocol has an IP stack having layers. At least some of the layers have privacy preserving source node attribution and network admission control. The packet is admitted to the network only if a source node of the network nodes admits the packet.
Claims23
A device implemented, carrier independent packet delivery universal addressing networking protocol for communication over a network between a plurality of network nodes utilizing a packet, comprising:
- an IP stack having a plurality of layers, at least some of the plurality of layers comprising:
- privacy preserving source node attribution;
- and
- network admission control with said packet being admitted to said network only if a source node of said plurality of network nodes admits said packet;
- wherein said source node has an identification address and wherein said packet carries said identification address of said source node;
- and
- wherein said identification address of said source node is established by a trusted entity.
A network node configured for communication over a network utilizing a packet from a source node to a destination node, comprising:
- a protocol control having:
- a device implemented, carrier independent packet delivery universal addressing networking protocol having an IP stack, comprising:
- privacy preserving source node attribution running on said IP stack configured to communicate to said destination node;
- and
- network admission control with said packet configured to be admitted to said network only if the source node of said packet allows admission;
- wherein said source node has an identification address and wherein said packet carries said identification address of said originating node;
- and
- wherein identification address of said source node is established by a trusted entity.
A protocol stack of a device implemented, carrier independent packet delivery universal addressing networking protocol for communication over a network between network nodes utilizing a packet, comprising:
- privacy preserving source node attribution;
- and
- network admission control with said packet being admitted to said network only if a source node of said network nodes admits said packet;
- wherein said source node has an identification address and wherein said packet carries said identification address of said source node;
- and
- wherein said identification address of said source node is established by a trusted entity.
A method for communicating over a network between a plurality of network nodes using a device implemented, carrier independent packet delivery universal addressing network protocol having an IP stack having a plurality of layers, at least some of said plurality of layers comprising a privacy preserving source node attribution and a network admission control, comprising the steps of:
- preserving a privacy of said source node using said privacy preserving source node attribution;
- and
- admitting a packet onto said network only if said source node admits said packet;
- wherein said source node has an identification address, wherein a destination node has an identification address, and further comprising the step of incorporating both said identification address of said source node and said identification address of said destination node into said packet;
- and
- wherein said network further comprises a trusted entity, and further comprising the step of establishing said identification address of said source node using said trusted entity.
A device implemented network for a transmission of data utilizing a packet, comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, said plurality of nodes being at least a source node and a destination node, said network being configured to transmit said packet from said source node to said destination node;
- a network protocol comprising a protocol in which source node credentials are presented to said destination node in a packet request and in which said destination examines said source node credentials and responds with a admit/reject packet;
- and
- a trusted network interface configured to accept/reject said packet request sent by said source node for said destination node based upon said admit/reject packet sent by said destination node.
A method for controlling admission of a packet to a network having a plurality of nodes being at least a source node, a destination node and a trusted network interface, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a packet request comprising source node credentials from said source node to said destination node;
- βtransmitting an admit/reject packet from said destination node to said source node base, at least in part, on said source node credentials;
- and
- controlling admission of said packet to said network using said trusted network interface based on said admit/reject packet.
