We consider a secure communication over a two-user Gaussian interference channel, where each transmitter sends a confidential message to its legitimate receiver. For this setting, we identify a regime where the simple scheme of using…

This paper considers precoding for multi-group multicasting with a common message. The multiple antenna base station communicates with $K$ clusters, each with $L$ users. There is a common message destined to all users and a private…

We study the hierarchical secure aggregation problem with groupwise keys. The problem consists of an aggregation server, $U$ relays, and $UV$ users, where each relay serves $V$ disjoint users, and each subset of $G$ users shares an…

We investigate the $K$-user many-to-one interference channel with confidential messages in which the $K$th user experiences interference from all other $K-1$ users, and is at the same time treated as an eavesdropper to all the messages of…

Previous work showed that the X network with M transmitters, N receivers has MN/(M+N-1) degrees of freedom. In this work we study the degrees of freedom of the X network with secrecy constraints, i.e. the X network where some/all messages…

In the secure group communication, data is transmitted in such a way that only the group members are able to receive the messages. The main problem in the solution using symmetric key is heavy re-keying cost. To reduce re-keying cost tree…

Quantum networks will provide multi-node entanglement over long distances to enable secure communication on a global scale. Traditional quantum communication protocols consume pair-wise entanglement, which is sub-optimal for distributed…

In $(t, n)$-threshold secret sharing, a secret $S$ is distributed among $n$ participants such that any subset of size $t$ can recover $S$, while any subset of size $t-1$ or fewer learns nothing about it. For information-theoretic secret…
