The concept of secrecy calls to mind a dyadic interaction: one person hiding a secret from another during a conversation or social interaction. The current work, however, demonstrates that this aspect of secrecy is rather rare. Taking a broader view of secrecy as the intent to conceal information, which only sometimes necessitates concealment, yields a new psychology of secrecy. Ten studies dem...

The achievable rate region and degrees of freedom are studied for interference channels with confidential messages under strong secrecy constraints. The problem is studied based on the framework of Han and Verdú’s channel resolvability theory. It is shown that if the random binning rate for securing a confidential message is slightly above the resolution of its corresponding wiretapped channel,...

Incorporating the physical layer characteristics to secure communications has received considerable attention in recent years. Moreover, cooperation with some nodes of network can give benefits of multiple-antenna systems, increasing the secrecy capacity of such channels. In this paper, we consider cooperative wiretap channel with the help of an Amplify and Forward (AF) relay to transmit confid...

In this work the arbitrarily varying wiretap channel AVWC is studied. We derive a lower bound on the random code secrecy capacity for the average error criterion and the strong secrecy criterion in the case of a best channel to the eavesdropper by using Ahlswede’s robustification technique for ordinary AVCs. We show that in the case of a non-symmetrisable channel to the legitimate receiver the ...

In this paper, we propose joint cooperative beamforming and jamming schemes in decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks for physical layer secrecy. In DF relay networks, only the relays decoding the message from the source correctly have to join in the forwarding phase and the relays with decoding error are not utilized sufficiently. Taking this property into consideration, we let the relays deco...
