Information Reconciliation Using Reliability in Secret Key Agreement Scheme with ESPAR Antenna
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a countermeasure for eavesdroppers in wireless communications, a secret key agreement scheme using a variable directional antenna called ESPAR antenna was developed. In this scheme, the process of information reconciliation is necessary to correct the discrepancies between the legitimate users’ keys. In this paper, we propose a new information reconciliation protocol using the reliability of the raw keys. The proposed information reconciliation protocol is a modified version of the protocol used in quantum key distribution called Cascade. The results of simulations show that the proposed protocol can correct errors with less the number of disclosed bits and less the number of communications than those of Cascade.

Capacity Enhancement of Ad Hoc Networks using a New Beamforming Scheme Based on ESPAR
This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...

متن کاملLinking Information Reconciliation and Privacy Ampliication ?
Information reconciliation and privacy ampliication are important tools in cryptography and information theory. Reconciliation allows two parties knowing correlated random variables, such as a noisy version of the partner's random bit string, to agree on a shared string. Privacy ampliication allows two parties sharing a partially secret string, about which an opponent has some partial informati...
