Privacy Amplification by Public Discussion

In this paper, we investigate how the use of a channel with perfect authenticity but no privacy can be used to repair the defects of a channel with imperfect privacy but no authenticity. More precisely, let us assume that Alice and Bob wish to agree on a secret random bit string, and have at their disposal an imperfect private channel and a perfect public channel. The private channel is imperfe...

Multiterminal Secrecy by Public Discussion

This monograph describes principles of information theoretic secrecy generation by legitimate parties with public discussion in the presence of an eavesdropper. The parties are guaranteed secrecy in the form of independence from the eavesdropper’s observation of the communication. Part I develops basic technical tools for secrecy generation, many of which are potentially of independent interest...

Secrecy Enhancement via Public Discussion

( X , Y , Z ) is an ensemble of independent random triples, each distributed according to some probability distribution p ( z , y, z) . Two legitimate users, PX having X and Py having Y , communicate in order to agree on a joint key while keeping it almost unknown to an eavesdropper Pz who knows Z . Communication is conducted over a noiseless channel according to a predetermined protocol. Pz he...

Radioprotection and Molecular Therapy

The dose limiting toxicities of Ionizing Radiation (IR) in radiosensitive normal tissues, such as bone marrow, intestine, and skin, precludes the delivery of curative or effective palliative doses of radiation in many cases. Despite of the intense research effort in the past to find new effective and well-tolerated radioprotectors, only one drug has been approved by FDA for this indication. One...
