NpriNsec
NpriNsec is a framework for privacy-preserving networking that aims to reduce the ability of network observers to infer user activity while maintaining efficient data delivery. It is described in academic and practitioner literature as a modular collection of primitives that can be composed to protect traffic metadata, contents, and routing information across multiple layers of the network.
Core components include a privacy-preserving routing layer that can decouple source and destination visibility, an encryption
NpriNsec can be applied to secure messaging, privacy-friendly DNS, and privacy-preserving telemetry and analytics. It is
Limitations include potential overhead, deployment complexity, and coordination requirements among network operators for broad effectiveness. The
Related concepts include onion routing, TLS, VPNs, and differential privacy.
