Abstract
A system and method for verifying and/or geolocating network nodes in a network in attenuated environments for cyber and network security applications are disclosed. The system involves an origination network node, a destination network node, and at least one router network node. The origination network node is configured for transmitting a data packet downstream to the destination network node through at least one router network node. The data packet contains a header portion and a payload data portion. At least one of the network nodes is an enabled network node. The enabled network node(s) is configured to verify any of the network nodes that are located upstream from the enabled network node(s) by analyzing the header portion and/or the payload data portion of the data packet.
