The invention relates to a multi-path communication method based on
secret sharing in a vehicle-mounted ad hoc network environment, which comprises the following steps: finding a plurality of disjointpaths between a starting node and a target node by utilizing a
Latin square matrix, and dividing a symmetric
encryption key into a plurality of sub-keys by utilizing
secret sharing. Meanwhile, the encrypted message is also divided into a plurality of parts, an equivalent commitment is generated for each sub-key to support
fault tolerance, and meanwhile, a current
timestamp is selected to
resist areplay
attack, the encrypted sub-key, the
ciphertext and the commitment are jointly transmitted to the target node through each path,the target node reconstructs a key by using the sub-key, and decrypts the
ciphertext by using the key to obtain an original message. According to the communication method, the network load is greatly reduced, the
information transmission efficiency is improved, andmeanwhile the communication method has the advantages of being good in stability and not prone to being attacked or stealing private data. The communication method also has high
fault tolerance, andcan provide normal service even when unstable factors such as
network congestion,
flow limitation and node equipment damage occur.
