SeisSec: Encrypting and Transmitting Seismic Data at Ultra-low Latency

Earthquakes are frequent global occurrences, impacting the safety of billions of people worldwide. Rapid transmission of seismic data enables monitoring agencies to promptly issue earthquake warnings, while secure transmission helps governments and media manage public perception, preventing panic and the spread of misinformation, thereby maintaining social stability and public safety. Consequently, the fast and secure transmission of seismic monitoring data has become a critical issue in recent years. To meet the high demands for timeliness and confidentiality in seismic information, this paper proposes a high-performance data packet processing method implemented on general-purpose platform to achieve low-latency transmission of seismic data. Additionally, encryption at the link layer is employed to ensure data confidentiality and support secure data transmission. This approach aims to ensure the accurate and at a low cost of seismic information, ultimately saving more lives during the critical moments following an earthquake.
