The detection and elimination of covert channels are performed by a network node, known as a warden. Especially if faced with adaptive covert communication parties, a regular warden equipped with a static set of normalization rules is…
We consider the problem of reliable communication over a network containing a hidden {\it myopic} adversary who can eavesdrop on some $z_{ro}$ links, jam some $z_{wo}$ links, and do both on some $z_{rw}$ links. We provide the first…
Complex adaptive networks exhibit remarkable resilience, driven by the dynamic interplay of structure (interactions) and function (state). While static-network analyses offer valuable insights, understanding how structure and function…
This paper considers the multiple-access relay channel in a setting where two source nodes transmit packets to a destination node, both directly and via a relay node, over packet erasure channels. Intra-session network coding is used at the…
This paper considers rateless network error correction codes for reliable multicast in the presence of adversarial errors. Most existing network error correction codes are designed for a given network capacity and maximum number of errors…
We investigate the problem of reliable communication in the presence of active adversaries that can tamper with the transmitted data. We consider a legitimate transmitter-receiver pair connected over multiple communication paths (routes).…
This work studies the achievable secure rate per source-destination pair in wireless networks. First, a path loss model is considered, where the legitimate and eavesdropper nodes are assumed to be placed according to Poisson point processes…
We consider the level of information security provided by random linear network coding in network scenarios in which all nodes comply with the communication protocols yet are assumed to be potential eavesdroppers (i.e. "nice but curious").…
We consider the problem of secure distributed data storage under the paradigm of \emph{weak security}, in which no \emph{meaningful information} is leaked to the eavesdropper. More specifically, the eavesdropper cannot get any information…
Secure communication in a potentially malicious environment becomes more and more important. The arbitrarily varying wiretap channel (AVWC) provides information theoretical bounds on how much information can be exchanged even in the…
We address the problem of securing distributed storage systems against eavesdropping and adversarial attacks. An important aspect of these systems is node failures over time, necessitating, thus, a repair mechanism in order to maintain a…
This paper proposes a methodology for optimizing a frequency-hopping network that uses continuous-phase frequency-shift keying and adaptive capacity-approaching channel coding. The optimization takes into account the spatial distribution of…
In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source node wishes to broadcast two confidential messages to two receivers, while a wire-tapper also receives the transmitted signal. This model is motivated by wireless communications, where…
We consider a bilevel attacker-defender problem to find the worst-case attack on the relays that control the transmission grid. The attacker maximizes load shed by infiltrating a number of relays and rendering the components connected to…

Network coding is an elegant technique where, instead of simply relaying the packets of information they receive, the nodes of a network are allowed to combine \emph{several} packets together for transmission and this technique can be used…
In cellular networks, attacks on the communication link between a mobile device and the core network significantly impact privacy and availability. Up until now, fake base stations have been required to execute such attacks. Since they…
A simple four node network in which cooperation improves the information-theoretic secrecy is studied. The channel consists of two senders, a receiver, and an eavesdropper. One or both senders transmit confidential messages to the receiver,…
