title: "A decentralized packet network"
---
-The current TCP/IP network stack has a long development history,
-leading to inefficiencies that allow hackers to infiltrate networks
-with childish ease. In order to get to a trustworthy and secure
-communications infrastructure, the structure of the Internet needs to
-be drastically revised. The current protocols have so much deprecated,
-unused and unnecessary bits and fields, that trying to guard against
-every possible exploit is inefficient and virtually impossible.

-Ouroboros is a new decentralized packet transport network for POSIX
-operating systems that aims to accepts Edward Snowdens
-[challenge](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/05/edward-snowdens-other-motive-for-leaking/370068/):
-to build a network infrastructure that will "*enforce a principle
-whereby the only way the powerful may enjoy privacy is when it is the
-same kind shared by the ordinary: one enforced by the laws of nature,
-rather than the policies of man*."

Ouroboros is a peer-to-peer recursive architecture that follows a UNIX
design philosphy, with minimal packet headers. The aim is to provide a
secure and private network experience. Ouroboros provides its own name
