Information-theoretic key agreement: from weak to strong secrecy for free
Ueli Maurer,Stefan Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: This paper shows that not only secret-key agreement satisfying the strong secrecy condition is possible, but even that the achievable key-generation rates are equal to the previous weak notions of secrecy capacity and secret- key rate.
Book ChapterDOI
Simple and tight bounds for information reconciliation and privacy amplification
Renato Renner,Stefan Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the two new quantities, and related notions, do not only extend Shannon entropy in the described contexts, but they also share central properties of the latter such as the chain rule as well as sub-additivity and monotonicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unconditionally secure key agreement and the intrinsic conditional information
Ueli Maurer,Stefan Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: A new conditional mutual information measure is defined, the intrinsic conditional Mutual information between S and Y when given Z, denoted by I(X;Y/spl darr/Z), which is an upper bound on S(X, Y/spl par/Z).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Smooth Renyi entropy and applications
Renato Renner,Stefan Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: A new entropy measure, called smooth Renyi entropy, is introduced, which characterizes fundamental properties of a random variable Z, such as the amount of uniform randomness that can be extracted from Z or the minimum length of an encoding of Z.
Journal Article
Simple and tight bounds for information reconciliation and privacy amplification
Renato Renner,Stefan Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Shannon entropy can be generalized to smooth Renyi entropies, which are tight bounds for data compression and randomness extraction in the case of independent repetitions.
