A communications network includes a bus communicatively coupled to a first device and a second device. The first device and the second device are operable to perform multiple iterations of a secret-key generation (SKG) process. Each of the multiple iterations of the SKG process includes the first device computing a first instance of a key seed; the second device computing a second instance of the key seed; the first device using the first instance of the key seed to generate a first instance of a secret key; and the second device using the second instance of the key seed to generate a second instance of the secret key.
