Abstract: A system and method for generating and transmitting false packets along with a true packet to thereby hide or obscure the actual message traffic. A new extension header having a plurality of fields is positioned in the hierarchy of Internet protocol headers that control passage of the false packets and the true packet through the network. A sending host computer generates a plurality of false packets for each true packet and transmits the false packets and the true packet containing the Internet protocol headers and the extension header over the network. The new extension header is decrypted and re-encrypted each host that handles a message packet that uses the new extension header to control the random re-encryption of the true packet body at random hosts and the random generation of false packets at each host visited by a true packet, at the recipient of the true packet, and at any hosts that receive a false packet.

Abstract: The invention is a data-handling architecture that exploits the technical advantages offered by object-oriented techniques, classes, data containers, component software, object frameworks, containerization, design patterns, and a central runtime data repository. The architecture is based on the Common Object DataBase (CODB), frameworks, components, objects, information streams, and containers. The software exploits the Extensible Markup Language (XML), employs software gauges, and uses intelligent agents to aid in assembly, diagnosis, evaluation, composition, and re-configuration of a DATE-based application. The architecture of the present invention is defined by highly-modular components where interdependencies are well-defined and minimized. Components define the major aspects of the inventive architecture, objects are used to flesh out the specification, design, and implementation of the components.

Abstract: An intelligent agent-accomplished detection and tracking system responsive to sensed characteristics in a cloud of chemical or biological warfare agent(s) dispersed over a geographic area of the earth. The intelligent agent elements of the invention provide an organized and repeated comparison of signal data extracted from overhead dispersed conventional sensors of the chemical or biological agent material and accomplish communication with other agents and the outside world using a common flexible communication language. The intelligent agent elements are disposed in hierarchical arrays having at least lower level, mid level and upper level locations and are inclusive of multiple path forward and feedback agent communications.
