Error-proof and secure Internet protocols

A next generation Internet TCP/IP protocol combines multimedia data compression with impenetrable security.

Application ready for use

Abstract: The TCP/IP protocol is now used to transmit data via the Internet. Data is usually transmitted one file at a time, where different data types (video, sound, text, still images, and random bits) are transmitted in separate files. Transmission problems caused by the Internet’s intermittent packet stream, such as defective packets, lost packets in congested networks, or packets delivered out of sequence, are corrected by automatic retransmission of defective packets. A next generation Autosophy TCP/IP protocol could be developed that randomly mixes all data types in the same packets while adding very high lossless data compression with impenetrable security. Security may include: verification that a correct data transmission was received by the intended receiver; sender authentication; and instant detection of break-in or interception by unauthorized parties. Messages that are misdirected by the server would be useless to the unintended receiver because of unbreakable encryption. Instant detection of break-in would provide for instant countermeasures, such as simply ignoring the data packets or tracing the transmissions backwards through the Internet to the unauthorized party’s connection (its URL or telephone number). The next generation protocol may be made compatible with the current TCP/IP protocol for a gradual phase-in of the new protocol.

Applications: A next generation TCP/IP protocol could greatly improve the Internet by adding high lossless data compression, real time mixing of multimedia data in network-centric systems, and impenetrable security.
