dOISP: Rapidly Deployable Quantum-Resistant, Fully Decentralized Layer 3 Authentication and Encryption for True Zero-Trust Networking in Disparate Complex Networks

This paper introduces the Decentralized Open Interoperable Security Protocol (dOISP)™, a pioneering approach in cybersecurity, offering an OSI Layer 3 and true zero-trust architecture for authentication and secure payload encryption integrable with existing large scale disparate networks such as High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptors (HAIPE). dOISP™ is uniquely designed to be fully decentralized, quantum-resistant, and operates without the need for stored databases, certificates, human management, or central connectivity, after dOISP is deployed on an asset and the asset is provisioned. By facilitating swift integration of diverse network infrastructures including those that rely on HAIPE across prevailing system architectures and hardware, dOISP establishes a ground-breaking model for secure network communications.
