==Summary of Results== The main conclusion which we can reach from the test results is simply: the protocol works. However, we did learn some things about the protocol when conducting our testing * The protocol is most effective when there is some additional noise and variety present in the communication channel - such as the internet connections of the sender and recipient being heavily used ** It appears to be equally effective whether it be over LAN, or the internet. Maybe slightly more effective over LAN * The effectiveness of the protocol does not seem to be effected by the number of round trip times gathered ** Obviously, we want this number to be high enough for the eavesdropper to have a significant amount of errors though - at least over 2500 * The protocol is least effective when the eavesdropper is on the same network as either the sender or the recipient ** This is due to what we previously noted, that due to the relatively tiny time it takes for the eavesdropper to forward to the sender or recipient over the LAN, the round trip times which he and they observe will be almost identical. ** In this case, the results we received were rather random - however the protocol functioned correctly all of the time, but with varied effectiveness * A sender and recipient can securely generate a key using the timing based key generation protocol
