Abstract
System and methods for generating and authenticating verifiable network traffic. Specifically, the system and methods disclosed herein describe solutions for augmenting layer-2 (L2) frames with additional verifiable information entailing, for example, hash-based message authentication code encryption or digital signature authentication. These solutions may address scenarios where evidence of tampering, through deceptive practices, of network traffic data may prove difficult to detect.
