Efficiency Evaluation of Secure Data Communication Protocols Stack Based on Dynamic Network Topology

One of the key stages in the implementation of network attacks is the interception and analysis of network traffic. The article provides an overview of the main methods of data protection during transmission over the network, their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the paper presents a new way to protect data transmitted over the network - the stack of secure data communication protocols based on the dynamic network topology, which differs from existing solutions by hiding the fact of interaction of nodes in the network. The method consists in a special approach to traffic switching using encryption, multicast and packet retransmission. The article describes the software implementation of the secure data communication protocol stack. The paper also presents the results of simulation experiments and considers the advantages of the developed solution over the existing ones, as well as the disadvantages of the solution at the current stage of implementation.
