We consider a fading wiretap channel model where the transmitter has only statistical channel state information, and the legitimate receiver and eavesdropper have perfect channel state information. We propose a sequence of non-random…

This paper proposes a generic approach for providing enhanced security to communication systems which encode their data for reliability before encrypting it through a stream cipher for security. We call this counter-intuitive technique the…

We consider the problem of covert communication over a state-dependent channel, where the transmitter has causal or noncausal knowledge of the channel states. Here, "covert" means that a warden on the channel should observe similar…

We propose a new framework for determining the wiretap code rates of single-input single-output multi-antenna eavesdropper (SISOME) wiretap channels when the capacity of the eavesdropper's channel is not available at the transmitter. In our…

We consider the problem of error control in a coded, multicast network, focusing on the scenario where the errors can occur only on a proper subset of the network edges. We model this problem via an adversarial noise, presenting a formal…

We compare the strong secrecy capacities of Arbitrarily Varying Wiretap Channels (AVWCs) and General Arbitrarily Varying Wiretap Channels (GAVWCs) with their capacities under semantic secrecy constraint and other equivalent cryptographic…

This paper uses Euclidean Information Theory (EIT) to analyze the wiretap channel. We investigate a scenario of efficiently transmitting a small amount of information subject to compression rate and secrecy constraints. We transform the…

In this work, the critical role of noisy feedback in enhancing the secrecy capacity of the wiretap channel is established. Unlike previous works, where a noiseless public discussion channel is used for feedback, the feed-forward and…

In [13] we proposed a ({\rho}_r , {\rho}_w )-adversarial wiretap channel model (AWTP) in which the adversary can adaptively choose to see a fraction {\rho}_r of the codeword sent over the channel, and modify a fraction {\rho}_w of the…

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…

Capacity-achieving signaling strategies for the Gaussian wiretap MIMO channel are investigated without the degradedness assumption. In addition to known solutions, a number of new rank-deficient solutions for the optimal transmit covariance…

The rate regions of many variations of the standard and wire-tap channels have been thoroughly explored. Secrecy capacity characterizes the loss of rate required to ensure that the adversary gains no information about the transmissions.…

This paper derives upper and lower bounds on the secrecy capacity-memory tradeoff of a wiretap erasure broadcast channel (BC) with Kw weak receivers and Ks strong receivers, where weak receivers, respectively strong receivers, have same…

We study the secrecy capacity of a helper-assisted Gaussian wiretap channel with a source, a legitimate receiver, an eavesdropper and an external helper, where each terminal is equipped with multiple antennas. Determining the secrecy…

One key metric for physical layer security is the secrecy capacity. This is the maximum rate that a system can transmit with perfect secrecy. For a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system (a newer technology for 5G, 6G and beyond) the…

We consider the multi-antenna wiretap channel in which the transmitter wishes to send a confidential message to its receiver while keeping it secret to the eavesdropper. It has been known that the secrecy capacity of such a channel does not…

The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channel (WTC), which has a transmitter, a legitimate user and an eavesdropper, is a classic model for studying information theoretic secrecy. In this paper, the fundamental problem for the…
