This work addresses private communication with distributed systems in mind. We consider how to best use secret key resources and communication to transmit signals across a system so that an eavesdropper is least capable to act on the…

Secure distributed data compression in the presence of an eavesdropper is explored. Two correlated sources that need to be reliably transmitted to a legitimate receiver are available at separate encoders. Noise-free, limited rate links from…

In multi-source multi-terminal key-dissemination, here called ``key-cast,'' introduced by the authors in [ITW2022], network nodes hold independent random bits, and one seeks a communication scheme that allows all terminal nodes to share a…

Quantum key distribution (QKD) theoretically offers unconditional security. Unfortunately, the gap between theory and practice threatens side-channel attacks on practical QKD systems. Many well-known QKD protocols use weak coherent laser…

The basic problem of secure bidirectional relaying involves two users who want to exchange messages via an intermediate "honest-but-curious" relay node. There is no direct link between the users, all communication must take place via the…
