We design a new secure transmission scheme in the relay wiretap channel where a source communicates with a destination through a decode-and-forward relay in the presence of spatially random-distributed eavesdroppers. For the sake of…

We consider perfect secret key generation for a ``pairwise independent network'' model in which every pair of terminals share a random binary string, with the strings shared by distinct terminal pairs being mutually independent. The…

We assume that a buffer-aided transmitter communicates with a receiving node in the presence of an attacker. We investigate the impact of a radio-frequency energy-harvesting attacker that probabilistically operates as a jammer or an…

We propose a simple yet efficient scheme for a set of energy-harvesting sensors to establish secure communication with a common destination (a master node). An eavesdropper attempts to decode the data sent from the sensors to their common…
