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.

Physical Layer Security in Multi-Cell MISO Downlinks With Incomplete CSI—A Unified Secrecy Performance Analysis

TL;DR: A unified performance analysis for physical layer security with incomplete CSI is conducted, and closed-form expressions of ergodic secrecy rate, secrecy outage probability, and interception probability are derived, considering CSI estimation accuracy, transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR), and channel condition.

Robust Spectrum Sensing with Crowd Sensors

TL;DR: This paper proposes a robust spectrum sensing scheme by developing a data cleansing framework, where the underutilization of licensed spectrum bands and the sparsity of non zero abnormal data are jointly exploited to robustly cleanse out the potential nonzero abnormal data component from the original corrupted sensing data.

Security-Reliability Trade-off Analysis of Multi-Relay Aided Decode-and-Forward Cooperation Systems

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that as the outage requirement is relaxed, the intercept performance of the three schemes improves, and vice versa, implying that there is a security-versus-reliability tradeoff (SRT).

Enhanced physical layer security through transmit antenna selection

TL;DR: The results show that the secrecy outage probability is considerably increased when multiple antennas are available at the legitimate transmitter, and due to the use of the TAS technique, the eavesdropper is not able to exploit the additional spatial diversity offered by theitimate transmitter.
