Abstract
A method for generating a key in a network. The network includes at least one first user and one second user having a secured communication link to one another, and a third user, to which a secured communication link is to be established. The first user and the third user each generate a first partial value sequence from properties of the transmission channel between the first user and the third user. The second user and the third user each generate a second partial value sequence from properties of the transmission channel between the second user and the third user. In a secured part of the network, which includes at least the first and the second user, but not the third user, the key is ascertained from at least the first partial value sequence of the first user and the second partial value sequence of the second user. The key is also generated in the third user from at least the first partial value sequence and the second partial value sequence.
