Anapaya is Already Delivering on the Promises of ‘New IP’

Over recent weeks, the development of a new internet architecture has been controversially discussed, while Anapaya already has a solution up in their sleeves

In a presentation to the UN, leading telecommunications organisations have proposed radical changes to the way the internet works. These changes claim to support future technologies such as holograms and self-driving cars as well as present a harder stance on data security and privacy. Many western countries fear the proposed changes will enable central authoritarian control over the internet itself. However, Anapaya already has an operational solution that meets all these needs and more.

There is already an existing solution

Despite the intensive discussion between Eastern and Western powers regarding those changes that would revamp the traditional TCP/IP standards of the internet to support emerging technologies as well as include a “shutoff protocol” to deny service to parts of the internet deemed undesirable — splintering the global internet and give state-run internet service providers control over private internet use — an alternative, more secure and controllable design to the traditional internet architecture has already existed since a decade in the form of the SCION protocol by Anapaya Systems.

“There seems to be a lot of controversy regarding the changes to internet routing standards that were proposed at the UN. However, we believe that a solution which satisfies both sides already exists in the form of SCION,” says Hakan Yuksel, CEO of Anapaya Systems, a SCION software and service provider.

The SCION internet architecture aims to replace the current internet core protocols on a global level and represents a fundamental departure from today’s routing-table based internet.

First, with SCION, the governance is open and decentralised. Any entity, as for example a group of internet service providers, a state nation or a large ecosystem may define its own governance structure, separated from the network infrastructure providers, thus creating a clear sovereign network jurisdiction, to which users decide to connect. “An immediately transparent, controlled and trustworthy environment is achieved for all the users,” claims Hakan Yuksel.

Then, Anapaya’s solutions give the sender of the traffic the ability to choose which regions of the world the packets will traverse, making sure it does not cross untrusted parts and retains control and privacy.

Finally, with its clean-slate design, SCION also alleviates many security concerns, such as DDoS attacks, without an external third-party or authority auditing information exchange.

“This makes it ideal for future technologies,” says Hakan. “SCION already does what New IP aspires to do, and it does it without any censorship or privacy concerns.”
