Abstract
This document describes Z-Protocol, an experimental transport-layer protocol that establishes secure communication without a visible handshake. Z-Protocol combines asymmetric cryptography, adaptive proof-of-work admission control, and stateless packet processing to mitigate denial-of-service attacks and reduce observable protocol metadata during connection establishment.
