In a network device, a method for verified communication includes generating a network communication message using a selection of predetermined message elements having digital signatures generated with a private key. The network device generates a signature for the message by applying a homo morphic operation to the digital signatures of the selected predetermined message elements and to a one-time signature corresponding to a random number. The network device transmits the message in association with the signature for the message and the random number to at least one other network device.
