Radio Frequency Fingerprinting (RFF) techniques allow a receiver to authenticate a transmitter by analyzing the physical layer of the radio spectrum. Although the vast majority of scientific contributions focus on improving the performance…
Secure data compression in the presence of side information at both a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper is explored. A noise-free, limited rate link between the source and the receiver, whose output can be perfectly observed by the…
We study the index coding problem in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the aim is to communicate without allowing the eavesdropper to learn any single message aside from the messages it may already know as side information. We…
Current security techniques can be implemented either by requiring a secret key exchange or depending on assumptions about the communication channels. In this paper, we show that, by using a physical layer technique known as artificial…

Due to the broadcast nature of the wireless medium, wireless communication is susceptible to adversarial eavesdropping. This paper describes how eavesdropping can potentially be defeated by exploiting the superposition nature of the…
A method is given to detect the presence of eavesdroppers when a noisy message is sent to a privileged receiver. A proof of the effectiveness if this method is demonstrated, and a comparison is made to other quantum cryptographic tasks.
With conventional anti-jamming solutions like frequency hopping or spread spectrum, legitimate transceivers often tend to "escape" or "hide" themselves from jammers. These reactive anti-jamming approaches are constrained by the lack of…
This paper develops a novel framework for sharing secret keys using existing Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) protocols. Our approach exploits the multi-path nature of the wireless environment to hide the key from passive eavesdroppers. The…
Quantum privacy amplification is a central task in quantum cryptography. Given shared randomness, which is initially correlated with a quantum system held by an eavesdropper, the goal is to extract uniform randomness which is decoupled from…
We study covert communications over binary-input discrete memoryless alarm two-way channels, in which two users interact through a two-way channel and attempt to hide the presence of their communication from an eavesdropping receiver. The…
