Reliable broadcast is an important primitive to ensure that a source node can reliably disseminate a message to all the non-faulty nodes in an asynchronous and failure-prone networked system. Byzantine Reliable Broadcast protocols were…
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…
This paper presents converse theorems for safety in terms of barrier functions for unconstrained continuous-time systems modeled as differential inclusions. Via a counterexample, we show the lack of existence of autonomous and continuous…
It is well known that the mutual information between two random variables can be expressed as the difference of two relative entropies that depend on an auxiliary distribution, a relation sometimes referred to as the golden formula. This…
This paper establishes the equivalence between robust safety and the existence of a barrier function certificate for differential inclusions. More precisely, for a robustly-safe differential inclusion, a barrier function is constructed as…
Motivated by recent work on entanglement-assisted codes for sending messages over classical channels, the larger, easily characterised class of non-signalling codes is defined. Analysing the optimal performance of these codes yields an…
Bounds on the reliability function for the discrete memoryless relay channel are derived using the method of types. Two achievable error exponents are derived based on partial decode-forward and compress-forward which are well-known…
Achievability in information theory refers to demonstrating a coding strategy that accomplishes a prescribed performance benchmark for the underlying task. In quantum information theory, the crafted Hayashi-Nagaoka operator inequality is an…
We consider information theoretic secret key agreement and secure function computation by multiple parties observing correlated data, with access to an interactive public communication channel. Our main result is an upper bound on the…
We prove new strong converse results in a variety of group testing settings, generalizing a result of Baldassini, Johnson and Aldridge. These results are proved by two distinct approaches, corresponding to the non-adaptive and adaptive…
We establish an upper bound on the rate of codes for a wiretap channel with public feedback for a fixed probability of error and secrecy parameter. As a corollary, we obtain a strong converse for the capacity of a degraded wiretap channel…
This paper investigates an information-theoretic model of secure semantic-aware communication. For this purpose, we consider the lossy joint source-channel coding (JSCC) of a memoryless semantic source transmitted over a memoryless wiretap…
Relativistic protocols have been proposed to overcome some impossibility results in classical and quantum cryptography. In such a setting, one takes the location of honest players into account, and uses the fact that information cannot…
In this paper, we consider the problem of sequential transmission over the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with full, noiseless feedback. Naghshvar et al. proposed a one-phase encoding scheme, for which we refer to as the small-enough…
Guruswami and Indyk showed in [1] that Forney's error exponent can be achieved with linear coding complexity over binary symmetric channels. This paper extends this conclusion to general discrete-time memoryless channels and shows that…
We consider the situation in which a transmitter attempts to communicate reliably over a discrete memoryless channel while simultaneously ensuring covertness (low probability of detection) with respect to a warden, who observes the signals…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of Plausible Deniability in an information theoretic framework. We consider a scenario where an entity that eavesdrops through a broadcast channel summons one of the parties in a communication protocol…
In this paper, the trade-off between the number of transmissions (or burstiness) $K_n=e^{n\nu}$ of a user, the asynchronism level $A_n=e^{n\alpha}$ in a slotted strongly asynchronous channel, and the ability to distinguish $M_n=e^{nR}$…
We consider a 1-to-$K$ communication scenario, where a source transmits private messages to $K$ receivers through a broadcast erasure channel, and the receivers feed back strictly causally and publicly their channel states after each…
As black box explanations are increasingly being employed to establish model credibility in high-stakes settings, it is important to ensure that these explanations are accurate and reliable. However, prior work demonstrates that…
