Given two random variables $X$ and $Y$, an operational approach is undertaken to quantify the ``leakage'' of information from $X$ to $Y$. The resulting measure $\mathcal{L}(X \!\! \to \!\! Y)$ is called \emph{maximal leakage}, and is…

We give a complete characterization of the correlated random coding secrecy capacity of arbitrarily varying wiretap channels (AVWCs). We apply two alternative strong secrecy criteria, which both lead to the same multi-letter formula. The…
The safety of a quantum key distribution system relies on the fact that any eavesdropping attempt on the quantum channel creates errors in the transmission. For a given error rate, the amount of information that may have leaked to the…
We consider the secure communication problem for broadcasting of two encrypted sources. The sender wishes to broadcast two secret messages via two common key cryptosystems. We assume that the adversary can use the side-channel, where the…
