In this paper, we present a novel encryption-less algorithmto enhance security in transmission of data in networks.The algorithm uses an intuitively simple idea of a"jigsaw puzzle" to break the transformed data into multipleparts where these parts form the pieces of the puzzle.Then these parts are packaged into packets and sent to thereceiver. A secure and efficient mechanism is provided toconvey the information that is necessary for obtaining theoriginal data at the receiver-end from its parts in the packets,that is, for solving the "jigsaw puzzle". The algorithmis designed to provide information-theoretic (that is, unconditional)security by the use of a one-time pad like schemeso that no intermediate or unintended node can obtain theentire data. An authentication code is also used to ensureauthenticity of every packet.
