Abstract:
1. A method for securing communications from unintended access in an ad-hoc communications network, said network including a plurality of nodes for transmitting and receiving signals to and from other nodes in said network, the method comprising: determining multiple routes from a source node to a destination node, wherein each of the multiple routes is different from one another based on varying at least one intermediate node with which each of the multiple routes is composed; establishing a plurality of variable communication paths each comprising one of the multiple routes between the source node and the destination node for at least one data packet transmission; dividing each data packet into a plurality of data sub-packets; and communicating each of the plurality of data sub-packets via a unique associated variable communication path, wherein each intermediate node in each of the multiple routes of the associated variable communication paths is prevented from intercepting all of the at least one packet of data.
