Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension (SCINetEx) for Autonomic Messaging
Abstract
This technical report on Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension (SCINetEx) is based on content that was created as a text book for instruction and reference in developing low power wireless network extensions described in US Navy Patent 8855311. All commercial and government intellectual property rights for this patent are held by the US Government as part of an open architecture system. The report includes concepts and air interface protocols reviewed, tested and validated by teams from US Navy, DoE and DHS. A detailed discussion is also included that describes hierarchal messaging and network configurations supported by an encryption key management protocol for enhanced security when using untrusted Wide Area Networks (WANs). Regulatory requirements are also discussed as applied to the primary wireless medium that implements the IEEE Standard 802.15.4 waveform. Various network configurations are detailed that support autonomic terse messaging for applications such as in-transit visibility, transport and physical security, fleet optimization and management as well as sentient machine-to-machine communications. There are many topics addressed in this report specific to Network topology, data frame structures and operation including Network protocol stack set up, MAC protocol configuration set up, Network PAN ID standardization, Ad-hoc/mesh network topology, red team testing and message encryption. There are over 40 figures included that to help make complex configurations addressed in this report easy to understand.
