In the model that has become known as "Perfectly Secure Message Transmission"(PSMT), a sender Alice is connected to a receiver Bob through n parallel two-way channels. A computationally unbounded adversary Eve controls t of these channels,…

An information-theoretic confidential communication is achievable if the eavesdropper has a degraded channel compared to the legitimate receiver. In wireless channels, beamforming and artificial noise can enable such confidentiality.…

We show that the entropy of a message can be tested in a device-independent way. Specifically, we consider a prepare-and-measure scenario with classical or quantum communication, and develop two different methods for placing lower bounds on…

Encryption prevents unauthorized decoding, but does not ensure stealth---a security demand that a mere presence of a message be undetectable. We characterize the ultimate limit of covert communication that is secure against the most…

We consider a scenario in which $K$ transmitters attempt to communicate covert messages reliably to a legitimate receiver over a discrete memoryless MAC while simultaneously escaping detection from an adversary who observes their…

Covert communications hide the transmission of a message from a watchful adversary while ensuring a certain decoding performance at the receiver. In this work, a wireless communication system under fading channels is considered where…

For a closed-loop control system with a digital channel between the sensor and the controller, the notion of invariance entropy quantifies the smallest average rate of information transmission above which a given compact subset of the state…

In Ruckdeschel[10], we derive an asymptotic expansion of the maximal mean squared error (MSE) of location M-estimators on suitably thinned out, shrinking gross error neighborhoods. In this paper, we compile several consequences of this…

We study the second-order asymptotics of information transmission using random Gaussian codebooks and nearest neighbor (NN) decoding over a power-limited stationary memoryless additive non-Gaussian noise channel. We show that the dispersion…

The white book released by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) calls for extremely high-security and low-latency communication over fading channels. Under the low-latency requirement, the corresponding fading model is…

Variable-length compression without prefix-free constraints and with side-information available at both encoder and decoder is considered. Instead of requiring the code to be error-free, we allow for it to have a non-vanishing error…
