Abstract: In some examples, a method includes receiving, from a plurality of agents executing on scatter network devices, network performance metrics, at least some of the scatter network devices serving as endpoints for logical communication channels formed via a communication channel provider for which a first Internet service provider provides Internet backhaul and the logical communication channels traverse a first relay; aggregating the network performance metrics received from the plurality of agents; analyzing the aggregated network performance metrics to determine operational characteristics of a network; determining, based on the operational characteristics of the network, that the Internet service provider has transitioned from the first Internet service provider to a second Internet service provider to provide the Internet backhaul; and responsive to the determining, providing an instruction to the plurality of agents to modify operational settings of the agents to form logical communication channels that tr

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide for a scatter network device. In some examples, the scatter network device includes a non-transitory memory, at least one processor, and a key exchange application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the at least one processor, the key exchange application generates a key exchange request encrypted according to a public encryption key of a first network endpoint, wherein the encrypted key exchange request is indistinguishable from uniform random noise, and transmits the key exchange request to the first network endpoint via a first communication band, wherein the scatter network device transmits authenticated messages via a second communication band.

Abstract: A secure data routing method and system are disclosed. Logical communication channels are established that each associate an IP address and a protocol port associated with a first computer system to an IP address and a protocol port associated with a second or third computer system. Some logical communication channels associated with the second computer system and some logical communication channels associated with the third computer system are associated with the same IP address and protocol port associated with the first computer system. Data packets are received and parsed to find tokens embedded in the headers. A first data packet embedding a first token is associated to a first source and is decrypted using a first decryption key associated with the first source. A second data packet embedding a second token is associated to a second source and is decrypted using a second decryption key associated with the second source.
