In this work we consider the communication of information in the presence of a causal adversarial jammer. In the setting under study, a sender wishes to communicate a message to a receiver by transmitting a codeword $(x_1,...,x_n)$…

Noisy channels are a powerful resource for cryptography as they can be used to obtain information-theoretically secure key agreement, commitment and oblivious transfer protocols, among others. Oblivious transfer (OT) is a fundamental…

An arbitrarily varying wiretap channel (AVWTC) with a type constraint on the allowed state sequences is considered, and a single-letter characterization of its correlated-random (CR) assisted semantic-security (SS) capacity is derived. The…

This work considers the multiple-access multicast error-correction scenario over a packetized network with $z$ malicious edge adversaries. The network has min-cut $m$ and packets of length $\ell$, and each sink demands all information from…

We study communication in the presence of a jamming adversary where quadratic power constraints are imposed on the transmitter and the jammer. The jamming signal is allowed to be a function of the codebook, and a noncausal but noisy…

Conflict-avoiding codes (CACs) have been used in multiple-access collision channel without feedback. The size of a CAC is the number of potential users that can be supported in the system. A code with maximum size is called optimal. The use…

In this paper, we take an arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) approach to examine the problem of writing on a dirty paper in the presence of an adversary. We consider an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with an additive white…

In adversarial settings, where attackers can deliberately and strategically corrupt quantum data, standard quantum error correction reaches its limits. It can only correct up to half the code distance and must output a unique answer.…

We investigate entanglement transmission over an unknown channel in the presence of a third party (called the adversary), which is enabled to choose the channel from a given set of memoryless but non-stationary channels without informing…

We study the problem of communication over a discrete arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) when a noisy version of the state is known non-causally at the encoder. The state is chosen by an adversary which knows the coding scheme. A…

We consider the problem of authenticated communication over a discrete arbitrarily varying channel where the legitimate parties are unaware of whether or not an adversary is present. When there is no adversary, the channel state always…

We study communication over a Multiple Access Channel (MAC) where users can possibly be adversarial. The receiver is unaware of the identity of the adversarial users (if any). When all users are non-adversarial, we want their messages to be…

We revisit the oblivious transfer (OT) capacities of noisy channels against the passive adversary, which have been identified only for a limited class of channels. In the literature, the general construction of oblivious transfer has been…
