Two legitimate parties, referred to as Alice and Bob, wish to generate secret keys from the wireless channel in the presence of an eavesdropper, referred to as Eve, in order to use such keys for encryption and decryption. In general, the…
Wi-Fi networks are susceptible to aggressive behavior caused by selfish or malicious devices that reduce their minimum contention window size (CWmin) to below the standard CWmin. In this paper, we propose a scheme called Minimum Contention…
The ability of an eavesdropper (Eve) to perform an intercept-resend attack on a free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) receiver by precisely controlling the incidence angle of an attack laser has been previously demonstrated. However,…
The problem of secure multiterminal source coding with side information at the eavesdropper is investigated. This scenario consists of a main encoder (referred to as Alice) that wishes to compress a single source but simultaneously…
In this paper, we propose opportunistic jammer selection in a wireless security system for increasing the secure degrees of freedom (DoF) between a transmitter and a legitimate receiver (say, Alice and Bob). There is a jammer group…
Automatic modulation classification can be a core component for intelligent spectrally efficient wireless communication networks, and deep learning techniques have recently been shown to deliver superior performance to conventional…
Hybrid reflective intelligent surfaces (HRISs) can support localization in sixth-generation (6G) networks thanks to their ability to generate narrow beams and at the same time receive and process locally the impinging signals. In this…
Visual and audio signals often coexist in natural environments, forming audio-visual events (AVEs). Given a video, we aim to localize video segments containing an AVE and identify its category. In order to learn discriminative features for…
We introduce and investigate the ability of an attacker to surreptitiously use an otherwise secure wireless network to detect moving people through walls, in an area in which people expect their location to be private. We call this attack…
Wireless communication provides a wide coverage at the cost of exposing information to unintended users. As an information-theoretic paradigm, secrecy rate derives bounds for secure transmission when the channel to the eavesdropper is…
Static and hard-coded layer-two network identifiers are well known to present security vulnerabilities and endanger user privacy. In this work, we introduce a new privacy attack against Wi-Fi access points listed on secondhand marketplaces.…
In this paper, we study the degraded compound multi-receiver wiretap channel. The degraded compound multi-receiver wiretap channel consists of two groups of users and a group of eavesdroppers, where, if we pick an arbitrary user from each…
In this paper, we study the problem of obtaining $1$-of-$2$ string oblivious transfer (OT) between users Alice and Bob, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper Eve. The resource enabling OT in our setup is a noisy broadcast channel from…
Security against eavesdropping is one of the key concerns in the design of any communication system. Many common considerations of the security of a wireless communication channel rely on comparing the signal level measured by Bob (the…
In physical layer security (PHY-security), the frequently observed high correlation between the main and wiretap channels can cause a significant loss of secrecy. This paper investigates a slow fading scenario, where a transmitter (Alice)…
Covert communication conceals the transmission of the message from an attentive adversary. Recent work on the limits of covert communication in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels has demonstrated that a covert transmitter (Alice)…
We propose passive channel charting, an extension of channel charting to passive target localization. As in conventional channel charting, we follow a dimensionality reduction approach to reconstruct a physically interpretable map of target…
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system operating at terahertz (THz) frequencies and consisting of a transmitter, Alice, that encodes secret keys using Gaussian-modulated coherent states, which are communicated to a legitimate…
Binary exponential backoff (BEB) is a decades-old algorithm for coordinating access to a shared channel. In modern networks, BEB plays an important role in WiFi (IEEE 802.11) and other wireless communication standards. Despite this track…
In secure network coding, there is a possibility that the eavesdropper can improve her performance when she changes (contaminates) the information on the attacked edges (active attack) and chooses the attacked edges adaptively (adaptive…
