He seems a little crazy, actually.

From the sketchy description it might be some new protocol on top of TCP/IP.

One must be wary of such ideas, because the idea of "security" might be control by a central authority and forced authentication - but such schemes are antithetical to "security" from the viewpoint of users. If on the other hand it were really secure from the users' point of view, governments and corporations would never tolerate it and would just set about hacking the endpoints anyway.

He did mention "decentralized", which is (possibly) a good sign.

And he seems pretty anti-authoritarian...
