PhantomHop
DECENTRALIZED MESH PROTOCOL
World’s First Decentralized Off-Grid Mesh Platform!
Enables peer-to-peer messaging, emergency broadcasts, encrypted file transfers, and tactical GIS map telemetry without cellular data, internet access, or central servers.
Your off-grid
communication journey
Here’s ‘why’ our users can’t imagine operating in disaster zones, remote areas, or off-grid events without PhantomHop.
80 Mbps
Full hardware Wi-Fi Direct transfer rate
Deliver on your off-grid communication goals
witnessed consistent delivery of emergency messages and offline files across peer mesh hops without internet or cell coverage.
High-Level System Architecture
Every mobile device running PhantomHop acts as both an end terminal and an autonomous relay node.
Network Controller
Orchestrates neighbor discovery, tie-breaking logic, message routing, and gossip relay.
Radio Transport Engine
Operates across Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 and high-speed Wi-Fi Direct hardware radios.
Cryptographic Engine
Secures all device-to-device communications with automatic end-to-end encryption keys.
Local Data Storage
Stores offline messages, encryption keys, peer graphs, and message deduplication logs.
Peer Discovery & Symmetric Connection Handshake
Advertising & Scanning
Devices concurrently advertise presence and scan for nearby peer smartphones using high-frequency Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi Direct radios.
Symmetric Handshake
When two phones come within range, both nodes exchange device identifiers and map peer connection endpoints instantly.
Deterministic Tie-Breaking
If two nodes discover each other at the exact same millisecond, deterministic lexical ordering prevents dual-connection race conditions.
End-to-End Hybrid Encryption
Enforces End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for private text messaging and file transfers using a hybrid RSA-2048 + AES-256-CBC cryptosystem.
Hybrid Message Encryption & Decryption Pipeline
RSA Key Generation
Generates secure RSA-2048 keypairs on device launch to establish unique node identity.
Public Key Exchange
Connected peers automatically exchange public keys during initial connection handshake.
AES Payload Sealing
Encrypts payload with a fresh 256-bit AES key and 16-byte IV, then seals the AES key with RSA.
Secure Decryption
Recipient unseals the symmetric key with their private RSA key, then decrypts the payload.
Multi-Hop Routing & Store-and-Forward
When Node A sends a message to Node C out of radio range, intermediate Node B acts as an autonomous relay router.
Node Relay Chain (Out-of-Range Peer Forwarding)
Node A (Origin)
Initiates Encrypted Payload
Node B (Relay)
Forwards Packet (Hops + 1)
Node C (Target)
Decrypts RSA/AES Payload
Hop Count & TTL Bounds
Every message contains a hop counter and a default Time-To-Live (5 hops) to restrict network flood radius.
Deduplication Guard
Checks unique cryptographic message hashes upon receipt. Duplicate payloads are dropped immediately.
Epidemic Gossip Forwarding
If recipient is out of range, message hops increment (+1) and relay to all connected neighbor nodes.
Store-and-Forward Queue
If target node is offline, messages queue in encrypted local storage and flush automatically upon reconnection.
Location Telemetry & Tactical Map Engine
Offline GIS map interface rendering real-time operator positions, node markers, and Haversine node distance calculations.
GIS Positioning & Distance Engine
Offline Map Markers & Coordinates
Background Survival Engine
Continuous Radio & Push Services
Android Foreground Service
Launches a continuous background service process that prevents the operating system from terminating mesh discovery radios.
High-Priority Alerts
Incoming mesh emergency broadcasts trigger immediate high-priority audio and vibration alerts on the recipient phone.
Adaptive Power & Node State Engine
Dynamically monitors peer connectivity, battery level, and device idle time to optimize battery consumption while maintaining maximum mesh network throughput.
Normal Mode
Standard discovery scanning and messaging routines across all active radios.
Active Relay
Actively relays multi-hop mesh messages for distant out-of-range peer devices.
Low-Power Relay
Optimizes background radio scan frequency to conserve battery life.
Dormant Saver
Suspends radio scanning temporarily until battery recharges or user wakes app.
