Abstract:
As a promising technology of efficiently utilizing resources, network coding is capable of improving many performance such as throughput, security, etc. The main purpose of this paper is joining network coding and cryptography methods. In this paper, not only we propose a new mathematical method to use in network coding but also a security framework with slightly increased complexity and overhead. We use Greatest Common Divisor and Lowest Common Multiplication instead of sending original data packets, so as to provide additional guards against eavesdropping attack.
