In this paper, we present an achievable security scheme for an interference channel with arbitrary number of users. In this model, each receiver should be able to decode its intended message while it cannot decode any meaningful information…

The multicast key-dissemination problem over noiseless networks, introduced by Langberg and Effros [ITW 2022], here called the ``key-cast'' problem, captures the task of disseminating a shared secret random key to a set of terminals over a…

The problem of multicasting two nested messages is studied over a class of networks known as combination networks. A source multicasts two messages, a common and a private message, to several receivers. A subset of the receivers (called the…
