We study the performance of polarizing codes over a degraded symmetric wiretap channel under a total variation distance (TVD) secrecy constraint. We show that the leakage can be bounded by the sum of the TVDs of the bit-channels…

Polar encoding, described by Arikan in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Vol. 55, No. 7, July 2009, was a milestone for telecommunications. A Polar code distributes information among high and low-capacity channels, showing the…

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…
