In coding schemes for the wire-tap channel or the broadcast channels with confidential messages, it is well known that the sender needs to use a stochastic encoding to avoid the information about the transmitted confidential message to be…

Traditional cryptography assumes an eavesdropper receives an error-free copy of the transmitted ciphertext. Wyner's wiretap channel model recognizes that at the physical layer both the intended receiver and the passive eavesdropper…

Network coding is an elegant technique where, instead of simply relaying the packets of information they receive, the nodes of a network are allowed to combine \emph{several} packets together for transmission and this technique can be used…

We furnish a procedure based on universal hash families (UHFs) that can convert an error correcting coding scheme (ECC) of rate $R$ into a semantically secure wiretap coding scheme of rate $R - \xi$ where $\xi$ is a parameter derived from…
We consider the problem of polar coding for secure communications over the two-way wiretap channel, where two legitimate users communicate with each other simultaneously while a passive eavesdropper overhears a combination of their…
Under the emerging network coding paradigm, intermediate nodes in the network are allowed not only to store and forward packets but also to process and mix different data flows. We propose a low-complexity cryptographic scheme that exploits…
