Patent ID: 8769267

Claim:
A system for data routing security, the system comprising: an origination network node; a destination network node; and at least one router network node, wherein at least one of the origination network node, the destination network node, and the at least one router network node is an enabled network node; wherein the origination network node and the destination network node are connected to each other via the at least one router network node, wherein the origination network node is configured for transmitting a data packet downstream to the destination network node through the at least one router network node, wherein the data packet comprises a payload data portion and a header portion, wherein the header portion comprises a security signature portion and a routing data portion, wherein the security signature portion comprises geolocation information relating to at least one of the network nodes the data packet has traveled through, and wherein the at least one enabled network node is configured to verify at least one of the network nodes that are located upstream from the at least one enabled network node by analyzing at least one of the header portion and the payload data portion of the data packet.
