Untrusting network coding

Ghid Maatouk, Christina Fragouli, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran, Yasin Buyukalp

In networks that perform linear network coding, an intermediate network node may receive a much larger number of linear equations of the source symbols than the number of messages it needs to send. For networks constructed by untrusted nodes, we propose a ...
