Abstract:
The article proposes a network key formation protocol on open communication channels with errors. The task formulation of forming a network key is done. It is proposed that the protocol include three time phases. The first phase establishes crypto connection in independent groups of communication objects (CO). The second phase establishes crypto connection between independent groups of CO. The third phase selects the network key from the set of generated keys, and transmits it over the network. The protocol of the network key formation is discussed. A model of a channel connection with the procedures of this protocol is proposed. The parameters of the protocol are optimized, and its effectiveness is discussed.
Keywords:an open communication channel without error, the network key, Shannon entropy, key sequence, model of channel connectivity.
