AB  - Data confidentiality is a critical concern in modern communication systems. This paper introduces XOR-Embedded Network Coding (XORE-NC), a novel approach to enhance data security in network coding.
XORE-NC combines an embedding key mechanism with Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) to fortify data protection against eavesdroppers. The results indicate improved reliability, reduced encoding delay, and lower latency and throughput compared to traditional RLNC, making it an attractive solution for data confidentiality. However, challenges in decoding delay remain to be addressed. XORE-NC represents a promising avenue for bolstering data security while maintaining efficient data transmission in communication systems.
