Abstract: Described are a secure geo-location obscurity network and ingress nodes, transit nodes and egress nodes used in such a network. In particular, a novel device is provided and comprises: a node for a network, the node comprising: a private portion for allowing high bandwidth secure private traffic to be received and transmitted by the node on a private pathway through the node; and a public portion for allowing low bandwidth secure public traffic to be received and transmitted by the node on a plurality of public pathways through the node.

Abstract: A method is provided for electronically masking the geographic location of a client device in a communication network comprising the following steps: (a) mapping a communication from a first diverter node at a first location to a second diverter node at a second location, and (b) causing the communication to appear as originating from a client device at the second location when the communication is received by a destination device, wherein the second location is different from the first location. Also provided is a device that may be used to implement such a method.
