1. A communication device connected to a first network in which nodes are connected and a second network in which the nodes are connected, the communication device comprising:
- a generating unit configured to generate a first set of route information that is route information of the first network by communicating with nodes over the first network;
a converting unit configured to convert the first set of route information to a second set of route information that is route information of the second network by converting at least a portion of addresses in the first set of route information, without communicating with nodes over the second network; and
a storage configured to store key information that is consumed after every instance of data exchange, whereinthe first network is used to share the key information between the nodes,the storage stores the key information that is shared by using the first network, andthe second network is used for cryptographic communication between the nodes using the key information that is stored in the storage.

9. A communication method implemented in a communication device that is connected to a first network in which nodes are connected and a second network in which the nodes are connected, the communication method comprising:
-
generating a first set of route information that is route information of the first network by communicating with nodes over the first network; and converting the first set of route information to a second set of route information that is route information of the second network, by converting at least a portion of addresses in the first set of route information, without communicating with nodes over the second network, the second network being encrypted with key information that is consumed after every instance of data exchange and that is stored in a storage, the first network being used to share the key information between the nodes, the storage storing the key information that is shared by using the first network, and the second network being used for cryptographic communication between the nodes using the key information that is stored in the storage.
