Decimal network security address begins operation

China's decimal network security address was officially launched. China has made a fundamental breakthrough in its Internet development; and actual use has been successful.

The birth of decimal network technology makes China the only country able to unify domain names, IP addresses and MAC addresses into the text of a metric system; the second, after the United States (US), in the world to have root servers and IP address hardware connectivity servers and its own domain name, IP address and MAC address resources; and enables our country to become the world's second country (after the US) to possess and control scarce network resources such as network distribution, domain names and addresses. It puts a crack in the US's monopoly over the Internet, based on hexadecimal technology; and is a major, independent technical innovation of the Internet in China.

Features of China's decimal network security address takes the digital domain at the core of the Internet domain names analytical system -- like calling the same input Internet -- and there is obviously the safety of its system addresses on the Internet. It can isolate and effectively protect the user's privacy. At the same time, the metric system has a massive network of "domestic" information resources that are allocated by the Chinese automatically and are independently managed. This secure address can set aside addresses and domain names in accordance with national economic and social development needs.
