NOISE, ENCRYPTION, AND DECOYS FOR COMMUNICATIONS IN A DYNAMIC COMPUTER NETWORK

摘要

A method and apparatus for processing data messages in a dynamic computer network is disclosed. The method includes implementing a mission plan specifying a message type, a message generation location, and a message distance vector for false messages, receiving a data message that includes a plurality of identity parameters, and determining a message type and a message distance vector for the received message. The network device is configured to generate false messages and process received messages. If the message type is a false message and the distance vector of the false message has been exhausted, the data message is dropped. If the distance vector of the false message has not been exhausted, transmitting the false message in accordance with the mission plan.
