We investigate two source coding problems with secrecy constraints. In the first problem we consider real--time fully secure transmission of a memoryless source. We show that although classical variable--rate coding is not an option since…
Second-order coding rate of channel coding is discussed for general sequence of channels. The optimum second-order transmission rate with a constant error constraint $\epsilon$ is obtained by using the information spectrum method. We apply…
We consider a distributed parameter estimation problem, in which multiple terminals send messages related to their local observations using limited rates to a fusion center who will obtain an estimate of a parameter related to observations…
This paper investigates the maximal secret communication rate over a wiretap channel subject to reliability and secrecy constraints at a given blocklength. New achievability and converse bounds are derived, which are uniformly tighter than…
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…
This paper investigates a multi-terminal source coding problem under a logarithmic loss fidelity which does not necessarily lead to an additive distortion measure. The problem is motivated by an extension of the Information Bottleneck…
This paper studies the random-coding exponent of joint source-channel coding for the multiple-access channel with correlated sources. For each user, by defining a threshold, the messages of each source are partitioned into two classes. The…
In this paper, it is shown that for any given single-hop communication network with two receivers, splitting messages into more than two sub-messages in a random coding scheme is redundant. To this end, the Broadcast Channel with Cognitive…
A multiterminal lossy coding problem, which includes various problems such as the Wyner-Ziv problem and the complementary delivery problem as special cases, is considered. It is shown that any point in the achievable rate-distortion region…
This paper investigates the interplay between cooperation and achievable rates in multi-terminal networks. Cooperation refers to the process of nodes working together to relay data toward the destination. There is an inherent tradeoff…
Jointly Gaussian memoryless sources are observed at N distinct terminals. The goal is to efficiently encode the observations in a distributed fashion so as to enable reconstruction of any one of the observations, say the first one, at the…
We focus Slepian-Wolf (SW) coding in the short blocklength for reconciliation in secret key generation and physical unclonable functions. In the problem formulation, two legitimate parties wish to generate a common secret key from a noisy…
This paper investigates an information-theoretic model of secure semantic-aware communication. For this purpose, we consider the lossy joint source-channel coding (JSCC) of a memoryless semantic source transmitted over a memoryless wiretap…
A dealer aims to share a secret with participants so that only predefined subsets can reconstruct it, while others learn nothing. The dealer and participants access correlated randomness and communicate over a one-way, public, rate-limited…
Locally decodable channel codes form a special class of error-correcting codes with the property that the decoder is able to reconstruct any bit of the input message from querying only a few bits of a noisy codeword. It is well known that…
A channel coding achievability bound expressed in terms of the ratio between two Neyman-Pearson $\beta$ functions is proposed. This bound is the dual of a converse bound established earlier by Polyanskiy and Verd\'{u} (2014). The new bound…
We consider a relay network with two relays and a feedback link from the receiver to the sender. To obtain the achievability result, we use compress-and-forward and random binning techniques combined with deterministic binning and…
This work is motivated by recent results of Csiszar and Narayan (IEEE Trans. on Inform. Theory, Dec. 2004), which highlight innate connections between secrecy generation by multiple terminals and multiterminal Slepian-Wolf near-lossless…
Consider a distributed coding for computing problem with constant decoding locality, i.e., with a vanishing error probability, any single sample of the function can be approximately recovered by probing only constant number of compressed…
In a bi-directional relay channel, two nodes wish to exchange independent messages over a shared wireless half-duplex channel with the help of a relay. In this paper, we derive achievable rate regions for four new half-duplex protocols and…
