SCION for secure and reliable Online data communication
SCION is an innovative networking architecture designed to overcome the limitations of today’s Internet. SCION enhances security and reliability across global communications and provides robust protection against vulnerabilities and cyber threats.
SCION’S JOURNEY TOWARDS BECOMING A GLOBAL STANDARD
In 2021, the SCION specification journey was initiated at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), led by the Standardization Committee, aiming to elevate SCION to a global standard. This effort is driven by four key reasons:
INTEROPERABILITY
Allowing multiple implementations to be compatible and speak the same language.
OPEN ECOSYSTEM
Empowers adoption and integration of SCION into projects or products.
BETTER TECHNOLOGY
Community-centric reviews by renowned experts that make the technology better.
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Necessary for a certification built around high quality standards.

Empowering INNOVATION WITH SCION OPEN SOURCE
Coordination and maintenance of a SCION implementation are carried out for research, development, and experimental deployments to:
Accelerate the adoption and development of the SCION ecosystem.
Influence new adopters with a vendor-neutral platform.
Provide reliable fallback or safety net for SCION users.
