Abstract
A mobile device network that routes packets includes programmable switch devices that dynamically make packet switching decisions for routing the packets, a network controller for configuring the switch devices, a sender device connected in the network, and a receiver device connected in the network. The sender device and the receiver device can each be a mobile device or other network appliance. The sender device selects a path including links to predefined switch devices that a packet will follow, in which the packet contains an authenticator. Every predefined switch device that forwards the packet performs a computation that alters the authenticator based on an identity-based encryption algorithm, and the receiver device verifies that the packet was forwarded through the selected path based on a final value of the authenticator resulting from the computation performed by a last switch device that forwards the packet to the receiver.
