Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, in a first device of a first segment of a first network, a root seed from a second device; generating a pseudo-random seed tree using the root seed; according to a predetermined schedule, accessing at a first time a random number at a level of the pseudo-random seed tree associated with the first time; generating a rendezvous point record to enable communication with a third device in a second segment of the first network, the rendezvous point record including a rendezvous point name based on the random number; and encrypting and sending a message to the third device via an exchange server identified using the rendezvous point record, where the rendezvous point record does not include connection metadata and the exchange server has an anonymous network location.
