"The Internet"

I saw this in a previous bread, yet didn't see an important distinction communicated, specifically the internet is TCP/IP.

Adding to other sauce, background:

TCP/IP was created out of cold war era, allowing points to communicate in the event one point is taken out(nuke):

"Defense Department to consider ways information could still be disseminated even after a nuclear attack. This eventually led to the formation of the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), the network that ultimately evolved into what we now know as the Internet."

During a dig on TCP/IP, I found this:

Resilient Anonymous Communication for Everyone (RACE)

Posted Date: July 12, 2018

Summary:

The RACE program will research technologies for a distributed messaging system that a) can exist completely within a given network, b) provides confidentiality, integrity, and availability of messaging, and c) preserves privacy to any participant in the system. Compromised system data and associated networked communications should not be helpful to compromise any additional parts of the system. RACE advances will be based on rigorous security arguments, such as those found in the academic

cryptography community or statistical arguments based on realistic simulations. RACE will create advances in communication protocol encapsulation methods as well as efficient, oblivious, distributed system tasking, possibly via secure multiparty computation, to build a system that cannot be compromised even with limited participant compromises and large-scale, real-time deep packet inspection. Approaches to preserving privacy are of interest, such as ubiquitous encryption, even during computation, and obfuscating communication protocols.

Very interdasting; Looks like the good guys (may) be in control at DARPA.
