This book along with the essay "Beyond Cryptographic Routing: The Echo Protocol in the Era of Exponential Encryption" describe a new protocol: The Echo Protocol and its characteristics with respect to Graph-Theory, Routing-Theory, Networking and Encryption.As a contrast to the TCP protocol, the ECHO is a protocol without routing information. Instead, it's a multi- and hybrid-encryption concept. A network node sends packets to all connections. This creates the new network type of a flooding network, which is particularly interesting in the context of anonymizing mix networks like Tor or I2P and other.The modes of operation of the Echo Protocol like Full, Half or Adaptive Echo and sub-protocols of the Echo protocol like the POPTASTIC protocol (which is encrypted chat over e-mail servers) or the SECRED protocol (which is a kind of cryptographic discovery like in a DHT) complement further interesting innovations: Some Servers will learn someday through being instructed by private cryptographic tokens.For encryption there are also many new inventions discussed like: Secret Streams, Pass-Through PatchPoints, Cryptographic Calling, Fiasco Forwarding, or IPFS - Instant Perfect Forward Secrecy even through E-mail, based on symmetric as well as asymmetric keys.Many new cryptographic innovations are ready to use by the given Echo Clients like Spot-On, GoldBug Crypto Chat, Smoke or Lettera and some other, which overtook these ideas already.These innovations lead to a new Era of Exponential Encryption, which is defined by new thinking and acting as well as new ways of multi-encryption. The resulting tendency consists in the authors' vision of encryption and decryption going into the direction of exponential multiplication: for used keys, for options to decode ciphertext of ciphertext to ciphertext, for taken routes, for duplicated messages and congestion filters, as well as for several Fiasco keys used for the keys of several friend and their messages.The authors analyze this environment and identify four arms of the Era of Exponential Encryption, discuss these and give social, economic, political, legal and educational recommendations. New multiplied directions in encryption? File-Sharing or Web browsing through a new Tor2 based on the POPTASTIC Echo? The Echo's growth is independent from a reader or observer. TCP is fluid but bounded. The Echo is boundless and just limited to the imagination of those imagining to create things from simple concepts.

In their book "Era of Exponential Encryption - Beyond Cryptographic Routing" the authors provide a vision that can demonstrate an increasing multiplication of options for encryption and decryption processes:Similar to a grain of rice that doubles exponentially in every field of a chessboard, more and more newer concepts and programming in the area of cryptography increase these manifolds: both, encryption and decryption, require more session-related and multiple keys, so that numerous options even exist for configuring hybrid encryption: with different keys and algorithms, symmetric and asymmetrical methods, or even modern multiple encryption, with that ciphertext is converted again and again to ciphertext.It will be analyzed how a handful of newer applications like e.g. Spot-On and GoldBug E-Mail Client & Crypto Chat Messenger and other open source software programming implement these encryption mechanisms.Renewing a key several times - within the dedicated session with "cryptographic calling" - has forwarded the term of "perfect forward secrecy" to "instant perfect forward secrecy" (IPFS). But even more: if in advance a bunch of keys is sent, a decoding of a message has to consider not only one present session key, but over dozens of keys are sent - prior before the message arrives. The new paradigm of IPFS has already turned into the newer concept of these Fiasco Keys. Fiasco Keys are keys, which provide over a dozen possible ephemeral keys within one session and define Fiasco Forwarding, the approach which complements and follows IPFS.And further: by adding routing- and graph-theory to the encryption process, which is a constant part of the so called Echo Protocol, an encrypted packet might take different graphs and routes within the network. This shifts the current status to a new age: The Era of Exponential Encryption, so the vision and description of the authors. If routing does not require destination information but is replaced by cryptographic insights, then it is "beyond cryptographic routing". "Cryptographic Discovery" means: If the cryptographic token is matching, the message belongs to me. The Echo Protocol is in this regard an initial welcome within the Era of Exponential Encryption. The authors identify also four arms within the Era of Exponential Encryption and derive from these developments social, legal, political and economic recommendations.
