Abstract

A first information sharing device shares secret information with each relay device adjacent to the first information sharing device along a plurality of paths. A second information sharing device shares secret information with each relay device adjacent to the second information sharing device along the plurality of path. Each of the plurality of relay devices shares secret information with each relay device adjacent to each of the relay devices along the plurality of paths, generates public information using the shared secret information, and transmits the generated public information to the second information sharing device. The first information sharing device generates shared information using the secret information shared with each relay device adjacent to the first information sharing device along the plurality of paths. The second information sharing device generates shared information using the secret information shared with each relay device adjacent to the second information sharing device along the plurality of paths and the public information received from the relay device.
