We derive an exponentially decaying upper-bound on the unnormalized amount of information leaked to the wire-tapper in Wyner's wire-tap channel setting. We characterize the exponent of the bound as a function of the randomness used by the…

The problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding is considered in this work, where the encoder constructs a progressive description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to truncate the…
We present novel non-asymptotic or finite blocklength achievability bounds for three side-information problems in network information theory. These include (i) the Wyner-Ahlswede-Korner (WAK) problem of almost-lossless source coding with…
This paper considers lossy source coding of $n$-dimensional memoryless sources and shows an explicit approximation to the minimum source coding rate required to sustain the probability of exceeding distortion $d$ no greater than $\epsilon$,…
In this paper, we consider different aspects of the network functional compression problem where computation of a function (or, some functions) of sources located at certain nodes in a network is desired at receiver(s). The rate region of…
In this paper, we introduce new lower bounds on the distortion of scalar fixed-rate codes for lossy compression with side information available at the receiver. These bounds are derived by presenting the relevant random variables as a…
A two-party key agreement problem with public discussion, known as the source model problem, is considered. By relating key agreement to hypothesis testing, a new coding scheme is developed that yields a sufficient condition to achieve a…
The error exponent of fixed-length lossy source coding was established by Marton. Ahlswede showed that this exponent can be discontinuous at a rate $R$, depending on the probability distribution $P$ of the given information source and the…

We study the information bottleneck (IB) source coding problem, also known as remote lossy source coding under logarithmic loss. Based on a rate-limited description of noisy observations, the receiver produces a soft estimate for the remote…
The problem of distributed data compression for function computation is considered, where (i) the function to be computed is not necessarily symbol-wise function and (ii) the information source has memory and may not be stationary nor…

We analyze random coding error exponents associated with erasure/list Slepian-Wolf decoding using two different methods and then compare the resulting bounds. The first method follows the well known techniques of Gallager and Forney and the…
The Slepian-Wolf bound on the admissible coding rate forms the most fundamental aspect of distributed source coding. As such, it is necessary to provide a framework with which to model more practical scenarios with respect to the…
We study a class of $K$-encoder hypothesis testing against conditional independence problems. Under the criterion that stipulates minimization of the Type II error subject to a (constant) upper bound $\epsilon$ on the Type I error, we…
We consider the stationaly memoryless channels with input cost. We prove that for transmission rates above the capacity the correct probability of decoding tends to zero exponentially as the block length $n$ of codes tends to infinity. In…
A missing piece in quantum information theory, with very few exceptions, has been to provide the random coding exponents for quantum information-processing protocols. We remedy the situation by providing these exponents for a variety of…
We consider a Shannon cipher system for memoryless sources, in which distortion is allowed at the legitimate decoder. The source is compressed using a rate distortion code secured by a shared key, which satisfies a constraint on the…
