Abstract
A method for securely communicating a message from a source node to a destination node over a network can comprise the steps of converting the message into an initial bit sequence, pre-processing the initial bit sequence by a modulo adding the initial bit sequence with an auxiliary key message, constructing a reduced network, determining a multitude of paths from the source node to the destination node over the reduced network, constructing an expanded bit sequence comprising the initial bit sequence and the auxiliary key message, splitting the expanded bit sequence into two or more parts, transmitting the two or more parts of the expanded bit sequence over two or more paths of the multitude of paths, re-assembling the two or more parts of the expanded bit sequence at the destination node, and recovering the initial bit sequence by modulo adding the expanded bit sequence with the auxiliary key message.
