System, Apparatus and Method for Secure Coordination of a Rendezvous Point for Distributed Devices Using Entropy Multiplexing

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, in a first device of a first segment of a first network, a root seed from a second device; generating a pseudo-random seed tree using the root seed; according to a predetermined schedule, accessing at a first time a random number at a level of the pseudo-random seed tree associated with the first time; generating a rendezvous point record to enable communication with a third device in a second segment of the first network, the rendezvous point record including a rendezvous point name based on the random number; and encrypting and sending a message to the third device via an exchange server identified using the rendezvous point record, where the rendezvous point record does not include connection metadata and the exchange server has an anonymous network location.

主权项

1. At least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to:
generate, in a first device of a first segment of a first network, a pseudo-random seed tree from a root seed; access, in the first device at a first time, a random number at a level of the pseudo-random seed tree that corresponds to the first time; generate, in the first device, (a)(i) a rendezvous point name based on the random number, and (a)(ii) a rendezvous point record, which includes the rendezvous point name, to enable communication between the first device and a second device that is in a second segment of the first network; and send, from the first device, (b)(i) the rendezvous record to an exchange server, and (b)(ii) an encrypted message to the second device via the exchange server.
