1. The ZKHP Envelope

In 6G Mesh environments, mobile devices frequently switch between Edge Nodes. To prevent triangulation and identity tracking, Vajra uses the Zero-Knowledge Handoff Protocol (ZKHP). The mobile device's session keys and identity are wrapped in a cryptographic envelope, retrievable only via a short-lived ephemeral relay code.

2. Edge Node Transition

When the device moves from Node A to Node B, it does NOT broadcast its IMEI or original MAC address. Instead, it presents the 8-character Relay Code generated by the central mesh. Node B acts purely as an agnostic relayer.

3. Envelope Unsealing

Node B submits the Relay Code to the ZKHP Mesh. The Mesh verifies the code and transfers the encrypted session envelope to Node B. The mobile device and Node B perform a secure key exchange, allowing the session to seamlessly resume without breaking the AES-GCM data stream, ensuring zero packet loss and total anonymity.
