Abstract

A method for generating a secret cryptographic key, which is common to a first node and a second node, with the aid of at least one helper node. The first node wirelessly transmits a first random sequence, the second node receives the first random sequence via a generally static reciprocal first communication channel, the second node receives a first signal, which is a function of the first random sequence, with the aid of the helper node, the second node derives the key from the first signal using the first random sequence, the second node wirelessly transmits a second random sequence, the first node receives the second random sequence, the first node receives a second signal, which is a function of the second random sequence, with the aid of the helper node, and derives the key from the second signal with the aid of the second random sequence.
