Externally Forced Switched (EFS) systems represent a subset of switched systems where switches occur deliberately to meet an external requirement. However, fast switching can lead to instability, even when all closed-loop modes are stable.…
A secret key shared through quantum key distribution between two cooperative players is secure against any eavesdropping attack allowed by the laws of physics. Yet, such a key can be established only when the quantum channel error rate due…
Alice and Bob want to share a secret key and to communicate an independent message, both of which they desire to be kept secret from an eavesdropper Eve. We study this problem of secret communication and secret key generation when two…
We study the problem of rate-distortion-equivocation with side-information only available at the decoder when an independent private random key is shared between the sender and the receiver. The sender compresses the sequence, and the…

Secure communication over a wiretap channel is considered in the disadvantaged wireless environment, where the eavesdropper channel is (possibly much) better than the main channel. We present a method to exploit inherent vulnerabilities of…
We consider a group of m+1 trusted nodes that aim to create a shared secret key K over a network in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, Eve. We assume a linear non-coherent network coding broadcast channel (over a finite field F_q) from…
