Abstract
A system and method for locating and using multiple routes to transmit sub-packets of data from a source node to a destination node in an ad-hoc network, thus preventing intermediate nodes in any one transmission path from intercepting a useful amount of information. The system and method routes communications between a source node and a destination node via multiple routes, selected in a random fashion. Further protection is achieved by breaking data packets into sub-packets requiring reassembly at the destination node.
