We study the problem of estimating the source of a network cascade. The cascade starts from a single vertex at time 0 and spreads over time, but only a noisy version of the propagation is observable. The goal is then to design a stopping…
We study the problem of generating a shared secret key between two terminals in a joint source-channel setup -- the sender communicates to the receiver over a discrete memoryless wiretap channel and additionally the terminals have access to…
We study the problem of achieving strong secrecy over wiretap channels at negligible cost, in the sense of maintaining the overall communication rate of the same channel without secrecy constraints. Specifically, we propose and analyze two…
We show strongly secret achievable rate regions for two different wiretap multiple-access channel coding problems. In the first problem, each encoder has a private message and both together have a common message to transmit. The encoders…
A new channel coding approach was proposed in [1] for random multiple access communication over the discrete-time memoryless channel. The coding approach allows users to choose their communication rates independently without sharing the…
Motivated in part by the problem of secure multicast distributed storage, we analyze secrecy rates for a channel in which two transmitters simultaneously multicast to two receivers in the presence of an eavesdropper. Achievable rates are…
We consider a scenario wherein two parties Alice and Bob are provided $X_{1}^{n}$ and $X_{2}^{n}$ -- samples that are IID from a PMF $P_{X_1 X_2}$. Alice and Bob can communicate to Charles over (noiseless) communication links of rate $R_1$…
This paper discusses mixing of chaotic systems as a dependable method for secure communication. Distribution of the entropy function for steady state as well as plaintext input sequences are analyzed. It is shown that the mixing of chaotic…
We consider the secret key generation problem when sources are randomly excited by the sender and there is a noiseless public discussion channel. Our setting is thus similar to recent works on channels with action-dependent states where the…
Cascade is an information reconciliation protocol proposed in the context of secret key agreement in quantum cryptography. This protocol allows removing discrepancies in two partially correlated sequences that belong to distant parties,…
We consider the problem of communicating information over a network secretly and reliably in the presence of a hidden adversary who can eavesdrop and inject malicious errors. We provide polynomial-time, rate-optimal distributed network…
We consider wiretap channels with uncertainty on the eavesdropper channel under (i) noisy blockwise type II, (ii) compound, or (iii) arbitrarily varying models. We present explicit wiretap codes that can handle these models in a unified…
Two familiar notions of correlation are rediscovered as the extreme operating points for distributed synthesis of a discrete memoryless channel, in which a stochastic channel output is generated based on a compressed description of the…
We show that it is possible to transmit and preserve information at short time scales over an n-fold composition of quantum channels $(\Xi^n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ modelled as a discrete quantum Markov semigroup, long enough to generate…
We study information-theoretic security for discrete memoryless interference and broadcast channels with independent confidential messages sent to two receivers. Confidential messages are transmitted to their respective receivers with…
The cognitive interference channel with confidential messages (CICC) proposed by Liang et. al. is investigated. When the security is considered in coding systems, it is well known that the sender needs to use a stochastic encoding to avoid…
Imperfect secrecy in communication systems is investigated. Instead of using equivocation as a measure of secrecy, the distortion that an eavesdropper incurs in producing an estimate of the source sequence is examined. The communication…
In decentralized decision-making problems, agents choose their actions based on locally available information and knowledge about decision rules or strategies of other agents. We consider a three-node cascade network with an encoder, a…
Anytime reliable communication systems are needed in contexts where the property of vanishing error probability with time is critical. This is the case of unstable real time systems that are to be controlled through the transmission and…
We study the security of communication between a single transmitter and multiple receivers in a broadcast channel in the presence of an eavesdropper. We consider several special classes of channels. As the first model, we consider the…
