The HC-SDN: Stealth and Defense
Overview:
HC-SDN Overview
HC-SDN, the disruptive technology from Hidden City Solutions, is a software package designed to create secure, closed network environments using the public Internet. HC-SDN has been battle-tested and proven by some of the best pentesters/hackers in the business; supporting the claim that HC-SDN stops ethical and non-ethical hackers alike. Hackers have taken their shot at penetrating, capturing, or disrupting HC-SDN end points (known as nodes), communication between nodes, and the communications themselves, with all attempts ending in failure and frustration for the attackers. HC-SDN remains solid and undefeated after attempts from groups including the representatives from multiple government agencies both foreign and domestic, as well as, groups with less than honorable interests.
How does HC-SDN accomplish a feat which most in the industry believe impossible? We, at Hidden City, listened to the actual creators of the Internet and fixed what they identified by as underlying critical flaws in the architecture of the Internet itself. John Postel stated that they had failed to create the ability “not to listen”. HC-SDN provides the ability to ignore all traffic not intended for a specific node which in turn allows nodes to communicate freely amongst each other while simply not listening to any other communication attempts. Hidden City realized the need to take this one step further by protecting the communications between nodes while allowing those protected to freely use all Internet protocol mechanisms. Our people at Hidden City understand your risks, and we make certain you can work , while we insure your privacy and security.
The HC-SDN: What Does it Do?
Benefits and Features
1. Secures nodes from unauthorized access
2. Prevents nodes from sending to unauthorized recipients
3. Allows communications across all ports between authorized nodes
4. Provides protection with very little overhead
5. Uses multiple industry encryption algorithms in a manner where the combination of algorithm, key, and key length never repeat
6. Changes algorithmic encryption, keys and key lengths as often as every packet and supports nodes with different timings
7. Nodes remain silent during unauthorized scans creating the appearance of cloaking
8. Event driven functions can be used to create reports or take immediate action when attempted foul play is detected
Tools used during the attempts to defeat HC-SDN include, but were not limited to, BackTrack, OpenVAS, and a myriad of manual tools and techniques many of which were not divulged to us. Representatives from FBI, NASA, DoD, and a multitude of others have had unfettered access both from remote locations, as well as being provided full access to a device within the Hidden City network environment in attempts to defeat HC-SDN.
Today Hidden City uses HC-SDN to protect corporate and government network environments, allowing for communications systems to use the Internet securely without compromise and with assurance that all corporate and govenment communications are safe.
An HC -SDN Primer: GETTING STARTED:
As with all new technologies, new vocabulary or at least new ways of identifying objects and techniques are required with HC-SDN. Once you have these concepts and terms under your belt, deployment and management will be a breeze!
ZONES AND NODES
DEFINITIONS:
Nodes:
A node is a device which speaks using the Internet Protocol (TCP or UDP) on which the HC-SDN can be deployed to protect the network perimeter of the device and secure transmissions to other HC-SDN nodes. A singular node is a solid bastion against network based intrusion.
Zones:
Nodes are grouped in security zones. As shown in figure 1 below if Node A is in Zone 1 and Node B is in Zone 2, Node A and Node B will not be able to talk to one another.
INTERZONE COMMUNICATION
Should both nodes be in the same zone, both may communicate freely with the other as shown
More complex environments may desire to implement Zones in a hierarchical fashion as illustrated below. An explanation of the communication rules at play follow the figure.
Additional Information
Some Features to Consider
The Hidden City HC-SDN, is a software defined network and security framework. HC-SDN protected computers and associated network segments are undetectable and undecipherable. HC-SDN provides four–factor authorization and asymmetric and symmetric swapping between participating devices in a true independent peer–to–peer model.
The HC-SDN Offers:
- Dynamic Symmetric and Asymmetric Sender/Receiver Swapping
- Non-predictive randomized changing of encryption, and keys and key lengths every second and with every packet.
- Can withstand up to a 2 Teraflop DDoS attack without degradation.
- Software Defined Network segments and microsegments protect multiple interrelated and independent networks.
- HC-SDN is Encryption Agnostic allowing customers to use the encryption library of their choice.
- Offers Quantum Computing Proof Encryption for each data stream
- Network and Hardware Independent allowing you to leverage your current investments. It will complement existing Network Infrastructure and Security Stacks such as VMWare NSX, Cisco ACI and Cumulus without conflict.
- HD-SDN Secure segments are not detectable and indiscernible to network sniffers or tools
- HC-SDN protects wired, wireless, laser and radio communication
- Any IP communications protocol can be protected.
- HC_SDN does not need to use tokens or PKI.
- HC-SDN is lightweight on computing resources while still protecting voice video and data.
- All network subscribed devices are provided with End to End peer to peer protection.
- Real Time reporting and identification of all unauthorized attempts to access and or send outbound communication.
A few of these features exist in other solutions as standalone features. Hidden City’s HC-SDN is the only framework that uses them all in a holistic solution that is not dependent on other software or hardware to provide future-proof protection that is available NOW. With its advanced features and customizable options, HC-SDN is designed to meet the mission critical security requirements to protect national infrastructure and commercial enterprises.
