We prove the strong converse for the $N$-source Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC). In particular, we show that any rate tuple that can be supported by a sequence of codes with asymptotic average error probability less than one must lie…
We construct new polar coding schemes for the transmission of quantum or private classical information over arbitrary quantum channels. In the former case, our coding scheme achieves the symmetric coherent information and in the latter the…
This paper addresses the challenge of achieving security in semantic communication (SemCom) over a wiretap channel, where a legitimate receiver coexists with an eavesdropper experiencing a poorer channel condition. Despite previous efforts…
The secure multiplex coding (SMC) is a technique to remove rate loss in the coding for wire-tap channels and broadcast channels with confidential messages caused by the inclusion of random bits into transmitted signals. SMC replaces the…
In this work, we describe the first modular, and programmable platform capable of transmitting a text message using chemical signalling -- a method also known as molecular communication. This form of communication is attractive for…
An unconventional encoding scheme called concurrent coding, has recently been demonstrated and shown to offer interesting features and benefits in comparison to conventional techniques, e.g. robustness against burst errors and improved…
Dipole words are sequences of magnetic dipoles, in which alike elements repel and opposite elements attract. Magnetic dipoles contrast with more general sets of bonding types, called glues, in which pairwise bonding strength is specified by…
Secret-key agreement protocols over wiretap channels controlled by a state parameter are studied. The entire state sequence is known (non-causally) to the sender but not to the receiver and the eavesdropper. Upper and lower bounds on the…
A computationally secure noised based cipher system is proposed. The advantage of this cipher system is that it operates above noise level. Therefore computationally secure communication can be done when error correction code fails. Another…
The efficient communication of noisy data has applications in several areas of machine learning, such as neural compression or differential privacy, and is also known as reverse channel coding or the channel simulation problem. Here we…

Inspired by the sound localization system of the barn owl, we define a new class of neural codes, called periodic codes, and study their basic properties. Periodic codes are binary codes with a special patterned form that reflects the…
Measuring human capabilities to synchronize in time, adapt to perturbations to timing sequences or reproduce time intervals often require experimental setups that allow recording response times with millisecond precision. Most setups…

We study the fundamental problem of reliable interactive communication over a noisy channel. In a breakthrough sequence of papers published in 1992 and 1993, Schulman gave non-constructive proofs of the existence of general methods to…
This is a survey on the One Time Pad (OTP) and its derivatives, from its origins to modern times. OTP, if used correctly, is (the only) cryptographic code that no computing power, present or future, can break. Naturally, the discussion…
This paper studies the secrecy results for the two-way wiretap channel (TW-WC) with an external eavesdropper under a strong secrecy metric. Employing non-adaptive coding, we analyze the information leakage and the decoding error…
This paper proposes an efficient secret key cryptosystem based on polar codes over Binary Erasure Channel. We introduce a method, for the first time to our knowledge, to hide the generator matrix of the polar codes from an attacker. In…
Infinite time Turing machines with only one tape are in many respects fully as powerful as their multi-tape cousins. In particular, the two models of machine give rise to the same class of decidable sets, the same degree structure and, at…
