This document describes a proposed software framework called SmartX that aims to provide advanced network security for the Windows operating system. SmartX seeks to overcome drawbacks of virtual private networks (VPNs) by reducing buffer copies and protocol overhead during network packet transmission. It uses a mutual identity algorithm for authentication between endpoints and 128-bit AES encryption of packets. The framework would reside in the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) and modify packets before transmission to provide secure and efficient communication with reduced processing overhead compared to standard VPNs.
