Secure, multi-bearer peer-to-peer communications.
GST-NET is built as a layered architecture designed for resilience and security. It abstracts multiple underlying transports — including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RF, and future satellite integrations — behind a unified, encrypted peer-to-peer model.
- Decentralization first: Minimize reliance on centralized infrastructure.
- Transport agnostic: Treat Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RF, and satellite as interchangeable bearers.
- Security by default: Encrypted channels, modern cryptography, and careful key handling.
- Resilience under stress: Designed with outages, interference, and adversarial conditions in mind.
Core Layers
GST-NET is composed of several logical layers that work together to provide secure communication across multiple bearers and operating environments.
Endpoint Layer
Desktop and, in the future, mobile clients handle identity, user interaction, and integration with local devices and operating systems.
Transport Abstraction Layer
Provides a unified interface over Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, RF, and future satellite modules, allowing sessions to be established independent of the underlying bearer.
Secure Session Layer
Manages key exchanges, encryption, and secure channels using modern cryptographic primitives and patterns suited to high-risk environments.
Multi-Bearer Transport
GST-NET is transport-flexible. It is engineered to operate over a variety of physical and logical channels, enabling communication even when certain networks are degraded or unavailable.
Wi-Fi Direct & Local Networks
Uses Wi-Fi Direct and local network paths to establish peer-to-peer sessions without requiring long-lived centralized servers. This enables connectivity in local or infrastructure-limited scenarios.
Where infrastructure exists, GST-NET can route over it. Where it does not, peers can still attempt direct or mesh-like connectivity.
Bluetooth, RF, and Future Expansion
Bluetooth and RF modules provide alternative paths when Wi-Fi is constrained, hostile, or unavailable. The design anticipates satellite and other bearers as modular extensions.
The goal is not to replace existing networks, but to provide a secure, flexible fabric on top of whatever connectivity is available.
Cryptography & Security Model
GST-NET’s cryptographic approach is designed around modern, widely understood primitives and configurations, implemented with strict key lifecycle and policy controls.
Encryption & Key Exchange
- Modern symmetric encryption for data in transit.
- Elliptic-curve–based key exchange for establishing shared secrets.
- Emphasis on forward secrecy, where session compromise does not automatically expose historical traffic.
Operational Security Posture
- Minimize metadata and unnecessary logging of sensitive session details.
- Separate concerns between identity, entitlements, and key material.
- Design for layered defense: compromise in one area should not grant unrestricted access to others.
Entitlements & Policy Controls
For enterprise and government deployments, GST-NET is designed to work with entitlements and policies that define who can access which services, under what conditions.
Role-Based Access
Access to features and communication channels can be scoped by role, organization, and context. This allows institutions to align GST-NET usage with their internal policies and compliance requirements.
Controlled Distribution
Clients and configuration can be distributed in ways that respect sovereignty, data classification, and operational risk tolerance, rather than forcing a single global control plane.
