Abstract

A communications device according to the present disclosure for communicating within a communications network contains an encryption device and an initialization-vector generator. The encryption device encrypts outgoing messages at least partially by means of a code and an initialization vector, which is generated by the initialization-vector generator. In this context, the initialization vector is generated at least partially on the basis of network information of the communications network.
