In this letter, we propose reliable covert communications with the aim of minimizing age of information (AoI) in the time-varying channels. We named the time duration that channel state information (CSI) is valid as a new metric, as age of…

We study two-way covert communication schemes, where information is transmitted by passively modulating a reflected signal back to the source. We consider optical systems, described by quantum bosonic channels. While broadband classical and…

We consider the private classical capacity of a quantum wiretap channel, where the users (sender Alice, receiver Bob, and eavesdropper Eve) have access to the resource of a shared quantum state, additionally to their channel inputs and…
