The Hyperboria network occupies a critical position in the implementation of Ties.Network.

Reviewing our architectural layers, we have the client. The client utilizes smart contracts using blockchain technology. These three layers, client, smart contracts, and blockchain overlay Ties.DB. However, we need an interface between these layers and the public/private networks that Ties.Network can operate within. This is provided by the Hyperboria network which is a meshnet which utilizes the cjdns (Caleb James DeLisle Network Suite). This network provides a peer to peer network which is encrypted and utilizes IPv6 addresses. Cjdns can communicate using both ethernet and wireless connections, as well as tunneling over the internet. Instead of a central authority or server controlling the routing of messages, each node on the network determines how to route any messages it receives. This lack of any centralized routing mechanism enhances the privacy features of this protocol.

Advantages of the Hyperboria mesh network:

The network does not care how a host connects to its peers. The connection can be ethernet, wireless or over the internet.

The network is encrypted end to end preventing eavesdropping by rogue nodes.

Each node receives a unique IPv6 address eliminating the need for additional encryption configuration and provides a virtually infinite number of IP addresses.

These addresses are not related to their location which makes it impossible to know the physical location of any node.

The network has high processing power.

Disadvantages of the Hyperboria mesh network:

Communicating nodes know each other’s IP, but not those of other nodes which they are not directly connected. This drawback is circumvented because nodes connected to the network communicate only with trusted nodes. Additionally, Hyperboria’s own intermediate node is created, linking it by the tunnel to the system.

Traffic is conducted by the shortest path, so all intermediate nodes know which ones communicate, but do not know what and where they are. This drawback can be reduced by altering IPv6 identifiers and the key pair of one’s own node.These drawbacks aside, Hyperboria is compatible for linking Ties.Network nodes into a network because real IP addresses are only revealed to trusted nodes or to a trusted third party Hyperboria node.

Users desiring anonymity, can utilize additional connectivity to the nodes where some are published as TOR Hidden Services and access to them is only achieved by TOR (The Onion Router). A further degree of anonymity can be achieved by coupling TOR with VPN.
