We propose the problem of wiretapped commitment, where two parties, say committer Alice and receiver Bob, engage in a commitment protocol using a noisy channel as a resource, in the presence of an eavesdropper, say Eve. Noisy versions of…
This paper considers the problem of information-theoretic Secret Key Establishment (SKE) in the presence of a passive adversary, Eve, when Alice and Bob are connected by a pair of independent discrete memoryless broadcast channels in…
We consider the private classical capacity of a quantum wiretap channel, where the users (sender Alice, receiver Bob, and eavesdropper Eve) have access to the resource of a shared quantum state, additionally to their channel inputs and…
A source model for secret key generation between terminals is considered. Two users, namely users 1 and 2, at one side communicate with another user, namely user 3, at the other side via a public channel where three users can observe i.i.d.…
We consider a pair-wise independent network where every pair of terminals in the network observes a common pair-wise source that is independent of all the sources accessible to the other pairs. We propose a method for secret key agreement…
In multi-source multi-terminal key-dissemination, here called ``key-cast,'' introduced by the authors in [ITW2022], network nodes hold independent random bits, and one seeks a communication scheme that allows all terminal nodes to share a…
In this work we consider the following problem: given a network of spies, all distributed in different locations in space, and assuming that each spy possesses a small, but incomplete by itself part of a big secret, is it possible to…
A novel framework for sharing common randomness and generating secret keys in wireless networks is considered. In particular, a network of users equipped with pulse oscillators (POs) and coupling mechanisms in between is considered. Such…
This paper studies the problem of information theoretic secure communication when a source has private messages to transmit to $m$ destinations, in the presence of a passive adversary who eavesdrops an unknown set of $k$ edges. The…
We explore connections between secret sharing and secret key agreement, which yield a simple and scalable multiterminal key agreement protocol. In our construction, we use error-correcting codes, specifically Reed-Solomon codes with…
This paper addresses the establishment of secure communication links between smart-meters (Alice) and an aggregator (Bob) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). The proposed scenario assumes: (i) MIMOME wiretap channel; (ii) transmit…
We consider a system where an agent (Alice) aims at transmitting a message to a second agent (Bob) over a set of parallel channels, while keeping it secret from a third agent (Eve) by using physical layer security techniques. We assume that…
Information-theoretically secure communications are possible when channel noise is usable and when the channel has an intrinsic characteristic that a legitimate receiver (Bob) can use the noise more advantageously than an eavesdropper…
We consider a coded cooperative data exchange problem with the goal of generating a secret key. Specifically, we investigate the number of public transmissions required for a set of clients to agree on a secret key with probability one,…
In physical layer security (PHY-security), the frequently observed high correlation between the main and wiretap channels can cause a significant loss of secrecy. This paper investigates a slow fading scenario, where a transmitter (Alice)…
The many-to-one interference channel has received interest by virtue of embodying the essence of an interference network while being more tractable than the general K-user interference channel. In this paper, we introduce information…
This paper presents secrecy analyses of a full-duplex MIMOME network which consists of two full-duplex multi-antenna users (Alice and Bob) and an arbitrarily located multi-antenna eavesdropper (Eve). The paper assumes that Eve's channel…
A new model of multi-party secret key agreement is proposed, in which one terminal called the communicator can transmit public messages to other terminals before all terminals agree on a secret key. A single-letter characterization of the…
In this work, we consider a scenario where two multiple-aperture legitimate nodes (Alice and Bob) communicate by means of Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication in the presence of a multiple-aperture eavesdropper (Eve), which is subject to…
In this paper, the compression of an independent and identically distributed Gaussian source sequence is studied in an unsecure network. Within a game theoretic setting for a three-party noiseless communication network (sender Alice,…
