Wireless Information-Theoretic Security
TLDR
A practical secure communication protocol is developed, which uses a four-step procedure to ensure wireless information-theoretic security and is shown that the protocol is effective in secure key renewal-even in the presence of imperfect channel state information.Abstract:
This paper considers the transmission of confidential data over wireless channels. Based on an information-theoretic formulation of the problem, in which two legitimates partners communicate over a quasi-static fading channel and an eavesdropper observes their transmissions through a second independent quasi-static fading channel, the important role of fading is characterized in terms of average secure communication rates and outage probability. Based on the insights from this analysis, a practical secure communication protocol is developed, which uses a four-step procedure to ensure wireless information-theoretic security: (i) common randomness via opportunistic transmission, (ii) message reconciliation, (iii) common key generation via privacy amplification, and (iv) message protection with a secret key. A reconciliation procedure based on multilevel coding and optimized low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is introduced, which allows to achieve communication rates close to the fundamental security limits in several relevant instances. Finally, a set of metrics for assessing average secure key generation rates is established, and it is shown that the protocol is effective in secure key renewal-even in the presence of imperfect channel state information.read more

Applying Beamforming to Address Temporal Correlation in Wireless Channel Characterization-Based Secret Key Generation
TL;DR: This work shows that one method available to address the problem of successive WKG processes producing identical or nearly identical secret keys is to move to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based antenna systems and the use of random beamforming.

Filter Design With Secrecy Constraints: The MIMO Gaussian Wiretap Channel
TL;DR: This paper considers the problem of filter design with secrecy constraints, where two legitimate parties communicate in the presence of an eavesdropper over a Gaussian multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channel, and assesses the efficacy of the designs in guaranteeing not only a certain MSE level at the eavesdroppers, but also in limiting the error probability at the microphones.
