It provides confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, forward secrecy and protocol obfuscation for simplex byte streams. It can operate over any transport that can deliver a simplex stream of bytes from a sender to a recipient on a best-effort basis, meaning that streams may be delayed, lost, reordered or duplicated by the transport. A memory card tied to a carrier pigeon is one example of such a transport. When operating over a duplex transport, BTP treats each duplex connection as two independent simplex streams.
