In this paper, a new wiretap channel model is proposed, where the legitimate transmitter and receiver communicate over a discrete memoryless channel. The wiretapper has perfect access to a fixed-length subset of the transmitted codeword…

For a physical layer message authentication procedure based on the comparison of channel estimates obtained from the received messages, we focus on an outer bound on the type I/II error probability region. Channel estimates are modelled as…

What is the effectiveness of local search algorithms for geometric problems in the plane? We prove that local search with neighborhoods of magnitude $1/\epsilon^c$ is an approximation scheme for the following problems in the Euclidian…

We consider the problem of reliable communication over a network containing a hidden {\it myopic} adversary who can eavesdrop on some $z_{ro}$ links, jam some $z_{wo}$ links, and do both on some $z_{rw}$ links. We provide the first…

We study the problem of achieving strong secrecy over wiretap channels at negligible cost, in the sense of maintaining the overall communication rate of the same channel without secrecy constraints. Specifically, we propose and analyze two…

Local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a gold-standard framework for privacy-preserving data analysis. However, characterizing the optimal privacy-utility trade-off (PUT) and the corresponding optimal LDP channels remains largely…

The mutual information is bounded from above by a decreasing affine function of the square of the distance between the input distribution and the set of all capacity-achieving input distributions $\Pi_{\mathcal{A}}$, on small enough…

We analyze physical-layer security based on the premise that the coding mechanism for secrecy over noisy channels is tied to the notion of channel resolvability. Instead of considering capacity-based constructions, which associate to each…

Many network information theory problems face the similar difficulty of single letterization. We argue that this is due to the lack of a geometric structure on the space of probability distribution. In this paper, we develop such a…
