7.1 Decentralized Internet Private Networks
The Xiden project aims to build a new layer of decentralized internet to ensure that it cannot be controlled or manipulated by organizations or third-party entities. The main purpose of this Internet Layer is to eliminate the possibility of censorship and to allow everyone access to the worldwide web.
The Xiden network is built on integrated devices such as routers that will be owned by users and will be located in multiple locations around the world. The routers can open Hotspots called SPNs (Spectralis Private Networks) to which smart electronic devices can automatically connect in order to access the Global Internet.
SPN Hotspot owners will receive XDEN tokens depending on the number of devices that connect to their network.
The router is specially built to offer high-security features and it cannot be compromised. The security must be invulnerable as it hosts a public SPN Hotspot and facilitates a connection point for anyone in the system. The router uses the VOBP architecture and cryptographic algorithms in this protocol to secure connections between devices and the router.
The implemented protocol allows the opening of a connection only after an exchange of P2P encryption keys has been successfully completed between switches, has been successfully validated by the Proof of Existence consensus, and in an automatic manner, without human intervention.
A key attribute of the XIDEN network is the provision of privacy for all network users. The Hotspot is a public network owned by users and, therefore, an architecture and algorithm have been implemented in order to protect the digital identity of both the connection provider and the users who are part of the connection.
The Spectralis algorithm transforms each router, miner, and device into a distribution node for data traffic, and at the same time, each device becomes a client that transmits and initiates the exchange of data, but also a proxy that relays data to other users.
The management of this network is executed automatically by a Layer of the XIDEN blockchain. This means that there is no human intervention that could intervene in the manipulation or tracking of data, metadata, traffic, and identities.
Each Node generates a blockchain identity each time it initiates a session. This identity is encrypted and used instead of the real device’s identity in order to never clearly share the device’s actual identity data. The Matrix ID generates data encryption keys valid for the open session. Thus, each Node will use aliases as temporary identities to connect and open routes with other nodes.
The Spectralis Private Network combines elements of TOR and VPN architectures to anonymize and protect the source, traffic, and the entities that are used as relay Nodes. The Spectralis protocol allows the user to select their exit point as the location. It cannot select a specific output node, it can only select the geolocation where it needs to exist with the new identity.
Thus, any entity or organization that tries to block traffic or certain sources will no longer be successful as the output nodes will change periodically.
The automatic assignment of the routes is executed according to the internet bandwidth necessary for communication and also according to the propagation distance. Thus, each initialized session should always have high speed and reduced latency to not impede the process of communication and transmission of information.
