I5SL
Secure session layer between applications and transport, with encryption, route fallback, downgrade protection and metadata minimization.
Independent technical-legal proposal
Internet 5.0 Initiative
Availability, confidentiality, integrity, privacy and freedom of expression by architecture.
Internet 5.0 proposes to turn availability, confidentiality, integrity, privacy and freedom of expression into architecture.
The updated proposal includes the Internet 5.0 Session Layer — I5SL, the Internet 5.0 Naming System — I5NS, verifiable cryptographic identity without a central registry, capture-resistant human-readable names, multiple locators and an anti-phishing model based on plural reputation.
The goal is not to replace the current Internet at once, but to create an open layer over the existing TCP/IP infrastructure, reducing dependence on registrars, making abusive state blocking harder, reducing domain speculation and protecting users from malicious links.
Updated proposal pillars
I5NS
Naming system based on cryptographic identity, multiple signed locators, distributed publication and transparency logs.
Verifiable identity
Proves key control, continuity and integrity; does not require global civil identity, mandatory KYC or central authority.
I5 domains
Human-readable aliases linked to keys, proofs of use, history, reputation and multiple access paths.
Anti-squatting
Reputation follows identity and historical use, not merely the name string; name transfer does not automatically transfer trust.
Anti-phishing
Plural lists, warnings for Unicode homographs, typosquatting, brand impersonation, compromised keys and suspicious locator changes.
