Systems and Methods For Packet Spreading Data Transmission With Anonymized Endpoints

Abstract

A packet-spreading data transmission system with anonymized endpoints facilitates enhanced fortified private communications between a plurality of arbitrary devices via a plurality of communication channels or networks. The data transmission system receives at a source endpoint device a message of arbitrary length. The message includes a destination address associated with a destination endpoint device. Both source endpoint device and the destination endpoint device are selected from a plurality of arbitrary devices. The received message are fragmented and agilely transmitted, via a plurality of communication channels, from the source endpoint device to the destination endpoint device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer readable medium useful in association with a computer which includes one or more processors and a memory, the computer readable medium including computer instructions which are configured to cause the computer, by execution of the computer instructions in the one or more processors from the memory, to enhance fortified private communications between a source device and a destination device by at least:
 receiving a data packet from the source device, wherein the data packet includes header address data that addresses the data packet to the destination device;   fragmenting the data packet into at least two packet fragments, wherein the packet fragments collectively represent the entirety of the data packet;   encrypting the at least two packet fragments to produce encrypted packet fragments; and   sending the encrypted packet fragments to the destination device using a distinct, respective one of multiple destination addresses associated with the destination device.   
     
     
         2 . The computer readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the computer instructions are configured to cause the computer to enhance fortified private communications between a source device and a destination device by at least also:
 encrypting the data packet to form an encrypted data packet; and 
 wherein fragmenting comprises fragmenting the encrypted data packet into the packet fragments. 
 
     
     
         3 . The computer readable medium of  claim 1  wherein fragmenting comprises:
 adding interjected data to the packet fragments wherein the interjected data is unrelated to, and independent of, the data packet. 
 
     
     
         4 . The computer readable medium of  claim 3  wherein the interjected data is randomized data shared between a source endpoint system associated with the source device and a destination endpoint system associated with the destination device. 
     
     
         5 . The computer readable medium of  claim 3  wherein the interjected data collectively represents data to be communicated from a source endpoint system associated with the source device to a destination endpoint system associated with the destination device. 
     
     
         6 . The computer readable medium of  claim 1  wherein fragmenting comprises:
 determining a number of packet fragments into which to fragment the data packet using one or more selected from a group consisting essentially of a minimum size of the packet fragments, a maximum size of the packet fragments, and a desired size of the packet fragments. 
 
     
     
         7 . The computer readable medium of  claim 1  wherein sending comprises sending at least one of the encrypted packet fragments through at least one untrusted data communications channel. 
     
     
         8 . The computer readable medium of  claim 1  wherein sending comprises generating one or more noise data packets that are independent of the substantive content of the data packet and sending the noise data packets to one or more of the destination addresses. 
     
     
         9 . A computer readable medium useful in association with a computer which includes one or more processors and a memory, the computer readable medium including computer instructions which are configured to cause the computer, by execution of the computer instructions in the one or more processors from the memory, to enhance fortified private communications between a source device and a destination device by at least:
 receiving two or more data packets, each of which is addressed to one of multiple destination addresses associated with the destination device;   decrypting the data packets to form two or more decrypted data packets;   combining the decrypted data packets to form a reconstructed data packet; and   sending the reconstructed data packet to the destination device.   
     
     
         10 . The computer readable medium of  claim 9  wherein sending comprises:
 decrypting the reconstructed data packet to form a decrypted reconstructed data packet; and 
 sending the decrypted reconstructed data packet to the destination device. 
 
     
     
         11 . The computer readable medium of  claim 9  wherein combining comprises:
 identifying and discarding interjected data from the data packets wherein the interjected data is unrelated to, and independent of, the reconstructed data packet. 
 
     
     
         12 . The computer readable medium of  claim 11  wherein the interjected data is randomized data shared between a source endpoint system associated with the source device and a destination endpoint system associated with the destination device. 
     
     
         13 . The computer readable medium of  claim 11  wherein the interjected data collectively represents data to be communicated from a source endpoint system associated with the source device to a destination endpoint system associated with the destination device. 
     
     
         14 . The computer readable medium of  claim 9  wherein sending comprises sending at least one of the encrypted packet fragments through at least one untrusted data communications channel.
