Abstract
A novel cryptosystem is presented in which the protection of the messages is based on the special properties of the binary multiplying channel. In the system the receiver is mainly responsible for the protection of the messages and not the transmitter. In the paper a small area network realization with a binary multiplying channel is discussed.
The research was supported in part by the National Swedish Board for Technical Development under grants 81-3323 and 83-4364 at the University of Lund.
