We study the problem of secure joint source-channel coding for multimodal semantic sources transmitted over noisy wiretap channels. The source model consists of $m$ modalities (e.g., image, audio, and sensor data), all represented as random…

We introduce a new measure on secrecy, which is established based on rate-distortion theory. It is named \emph{security rate}, which is the minimum (infimum) of the additional rate needed to reconstruct the source within target distortion…
