Linkage Projects - Grant ID: LP0348717

Funded Activity Summary

Development of a new transport layer protocol to provide secure broadband internet connections via satellite to rural and remote areas. Satellite links form an essential part of broadband connectivity to rural and remote areas. Effective use of the internet over satellite links is therefore essential if B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) E-commerce is to develop in these areas. In many application networks, particularly virtual private networks (VPN), secure transmission is important to avoid fraud and maintain privacy. Satellite links introduce a long delay (latency) in the transmission path and existing secure internet protocols do not handle this well. This is because in many situations, it is a requirement that the secure connection be implemented not only independently of the satellite service provider but also in a reliable and efficient way. This project will develop new practical solutions so that secure and reliable end-to-end connections can be provided over the satellite links.
