Abstract
We derive the capacity region of the degraded broadcast channel (DBC) subject to the constraint that the communication is not detected by an adversary, the Warden. Our capacity result is in a computable form and numerical results show that time-sharing is suboptimal in general, and improved rates can be obtained through superposition coding.
