Suppose that a transmitter Alice potentially wishes to communicate with a receiver Bob over an adversarially jammed binary channel. An active adversary James eavesdrops on their communication over a binary symmetric channel (BSC(q)), and…
Given a private source of information, $X^n$ and a public correlated source, $Y^n$, we study the problem of encoding the two-dimensional source $(X^n, Y^n)$ into an index $J$ such that a remote party, knowing $J$ and some external side…
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 $R_1$…
A lossy source coding problem is studied in which a source encoder communicates with two decoders, one with and one without correlated side information with an additional constraint on the privacy of the side information at the uninformed…
While many games were designed for steganography and robust watermarking, few focused on reversible watermarking. We present a two-encoder game related to the rate-distortion optimization of content-adaptive reversible watermarking. In the…

The goal of two-party cryptography is to enable two parties, Alice and Bob, to solve common tasks without the need for mutual trust. Examples of such tasks are private access to a database, and secure identification. Quantum communication…
In this work, we investigate two source coding models, a \emph{Helper} problem and a \emph{Gray-Wyner} problem, under equivocation constraints. Specifically, in the Helper problem, an encoder communicates with a legitimate receiver through…
We consider a network of two nodes separated by a noisy channel, in which the source and its reconstruction have to be strongly coordinated, while simultaneously satisfying the strong secrecy condition with respect to an outside observer of…

In this work, we study the secure index coding problem where there are security constraints on both legitimate receivers and eavesdroppers. We develop two performance bounds (i.e., converse results) on the symmetric secure capacity. The…
In this paper, we design the first computationally efficient codes for simultaneously reliable and covert communication over Binary Symmetric Channels (BSCs). Our setting is as follows: a transmitter Alice wishes to potentially reliably…

Key agreement is a fundamental cryptographic primitive. It has been proved that key agreement protocols with security against computationally unbounded adversaries cannot exist in a setting where Alice and Bob do not have dependent…

In a one-way secret key agreement (OW-SKA) protocol in source model, Alice and Bob have private samples of two correlated variables X and Y that are partially leaked to Eve through Z, and use a single message from Alice to Bob to obtain a…
In this paper, we investigate joint information theoretic secrecy and covert communication in a single-input multi-output (SIMO) system where a transmitter (Alice) is communicating with two legitimate users (Bob and Carol). We consider that…
