1. A network of computers with error correction code configured to transmit keys secretly and securely by:
encoding a key on a first single computer-based workstation, forwarding a plurality of encoded files via a plurality of computer-based workstations, and decoding the plurality of encoded files on a second single computer-based workstation using a decoding algorithm to retrieve the key; and the network comprising: the first single computer-based workstation operating as a source node and configured to encode the key and forward, via a first plurality of intermediate transmission links, a distinct encoded file to each intermediate node within a plurality of intermediate nodes of the network, the plurality of computer-based workstations operating as intermediate nodes and configured to receive via the first plurality of intermediate transmission links the encoded source files from the source node and forward via a second plurality of intermediate transmission links the encoded files to a receiver node when requested, and the second single computer-based workstation operating as a receiver node and configured to receive, via the second plurality of intermediate transmission links, encoded files from the plurality of intermediate nodes and decode the encoded files to retrieve the key, wherein a particular intermediate node, with corresponding intermediate transmission links from the first and second plurality of intermediate transmission links, forms a two-hop path between the source node and the receiver node, and wherein one or more of the encoded files received by the receiver node may be erroneous due to an erroneous intermediate transmission link and/or an erroneous intermediate node. |
