Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension for Autonomic Messaging: SCINetEx

Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension (SCINetEx) is a text book for instruction and reference in developing low power wireless network extensions described in US Navy Patent #8855311. A detailed discussion is included that describes hierarchical messaging and network configurations supported by blockchain encryption key management protocols for enhanced security when using un-trusted 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 text 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 book easy to understand.
